Fast response measures put in place to curb the spread of COVID-19 pandemic have made life even more difficult for them.To combat this, YUVA Unstoppable started working on two elements during the lockdown for the marginalized communities and frontline warriors. The first is health element and the other is socio-economic impact of the lockdown. To cope up with this extraordinary pandemic, YUVA Unstoppable distributed 50,000+ Health and Hygiene Kits to Police, Food & Ration to 100,000+ and 5000+ PPE Kits to Doctors and Paramedical Staff across India.COVID-19 VACCINE PROGRAMME    Yuva Unstoppable have launched a new project to remove Covid Vaccine hesitancy in India.There are many reasons why the needy in India aren’t taking vaccines…..an obvious one being they will miss two days of work due to fever which they simply cannot afford to do! Such a sad irony. Yuva ran an innovative pilot scheme (commended by the government) in 3 villages by offering a free 1 litre of cooking oil in exchange of having their first jab. The take-up scaled from 19% to 100% in as little as 7 days! Hence, Yuva is signed up to helping as much as 2 million such destitute people. They have raised support for half a million people so far but they still have a very long way to go.It costs just under £2 per person to entice people onto the Vaccine programme. Grants Awarded to Yuva by One Kind Act      31 January 2022: A grant of £7,000 was made as a result of generous single donations made to support Yuva in their incredible work.17 September 2021: A grant of £30,000 was made as a result of funds raised at the OKA Garden Party 2021 towards Yuva's School Project. 31 August 2021: A grant of £17,907 was made as a result of donations and funds raised at the Prideview Cricket Cup Day 2021 and the Landmark Marathon towards Yuva's Covid Vaccination Programme12 July 2021: A grant of £20,000 was made as a result of very generous single donation made by our Sponsor, Calcott Services for Children, towards Yuva's School Project. 14 June 2021: A grant of £8,000 was made as a result of donations made to support Yuva in their incredible work.24 May 2021: A grant of £2,500 was made as a result of donation made by our new Sponsor Partner, Prideview Group, towards Yuva's Covid-19 Relief Response in India. 22 February 2021: A supplementary grant of £14,270 was made as a result of donations made towards Yuva's School Project. 1 February 2021: An outstanding grant of £57, 080 was made as a result of donations made towards Yuva's School Project. 20 November 2020: A grant of £15,000 was made as a result of a single generous donation made to support Yuva in their incredible work.11 November 2020: A grant of £6,520 was made as a result of donations made for the Yuva Interconnect Appeal for students in India.3 July 2020: An outstanding amount of £4,550 has been raised to date in support of YUVA Unstoppable for the urgent work needed in India to cope with the COVID-19 crisis. One Kind Act is proud to be able to make the first of our grants to them of £4550.About One Kind ActOne Kind Act Changes Communities and lives of others globally who suffer as a result of Poverty of Health, Nutrition and Education and may have Fallen Through The Net of the larger charities.
