The Kinz Foundation distributes over 6000 kits to needy families during corona lockdown
Mangaluru: The Kinz Foundation , led by Althaf Ullal Saqco, a prominent Non-Resident Indian businessman in Jubail, has distributed more than 6000 grocery kits to people of all communities across the Dakshina Kannada District since the Lockdown was imposed, a release from the organisation said.
The Kinz Foundation launched a massive grocery kit distribution drive in the last week of March after realizing the plights of poor and middle-class families affected by the country-wide lockdown due to the spread of Corona Virus. Accordingly, needy people were identified initially in Ullal and neighboring localities and grocery kits were distributed among them. The distribution drive was later extended to Bantwal, Belthangadi, and Charmady areas in the district.
Over 6000 kits consisting of almost all the basic grocery items were delivered neatly to the needy families. It was ensured that only quality items were included in the kit. Also, dinner and mineral water was served consecutively for two days to thousands of North Indian migrant labourers who were housed at the Buntara Bhavan relief camp in Bantwal. Sehri meal was also provided to hundreds of people observing Ramazan fasting during the lockdown.
Around 55 volunteers of The Kinz Foundation were involved in systematically and strategically distributing the kits in cooperation with the respective area representatives, social workers, and mosque authorities.
“Four supervisors overlooked the logistics and transportation of the eight trucks carrying these grocery kits. The organisation's Mangaluru Manager Musa Fazil was the in-charge of the kit distribution project” Althaf Ullal Saqco, Chairman of the organisation, stated in the statement.
