Dear friends,
Hope you are in good health!
We write to you during these very difficult times where the Corona pandemic has caused widespread loss of lives and destruction. El Shaddai team prays for your good health and well-being and that of your loved ones, family, and friends.
Sincere thanks from our side for your kind and generous support for the continuation of the slum school project in several remote slums in Goa.
El Shaddai has set up three daycare centers where they not only visit the children in slum communities but also help the children in need by providing them with the basic necessities like nutrition and education. Besides the shelter activities, there is also fieldwork and slum school being carried out in more than 20 slum areas. Our slum school was active till the month of May 2021 before the state government announced lockdown, with only markets open, the rest of the work was not active apart from a few government organizations. Schools were the first institution to be closed.
We have suspended our activities of slum schooling as per the guidelines of the Goa government for a month. Nevertheless, we are providing the families and our students from slums with grocery kits and cooked meals daily to keep them well-nourished during difficult times. We are reaching around 300 homeless and street people every day to feed them. Our staff regularly goes for field visits to make sure that none of the children is on-street without food, clothing, and shelter. If we find any of the kids we try to get them for daycare. If anyone is in need of Medical help, we provide them with some medical assistance and also help them to get future treatment if needed.
Thank you so much for your continued support and we humbly request you to share this opportunity with friends, family, and colleagues so that they can be part of this project by buying a child, books, and stationery kits for 1 year with a donation of $20 or more. If you would like to regularly engage in this Endeavour and project, we encourage you to start a monthly recurring donation for a small amount, which will go a long way in giving them a bright future.

Best Regards,
El Shaddai Charitable Trust
