MIthila Wildlife Trust with support of charities from UK, Chora Chori, last night a DJ Saved My Life and Gandys-Don’t Just Exist has been distributing food relief materials during Covid-19 pandemic in Province No.-2, Nepal. Government of Nepal distributed relief materials for once, which was not enough for 15 days. But, since lockdown continues, many families from Tarai Dalit (Mushahar, Dom, Chamar, Tatma, Pasman etc.) and Pahadi Dalit (Chepang, Raute etc.) were affected badly. Some of them went to starvation where some started skipping food at 1 time to save for next day. During distribution of relief materials from local levels, someone who had gone outside (while collecting data) for some work, their name were left in the relief materials distribution list. Someone not having Citizenship Certificate, they didn’t receive relief. Around 100 households only in these 5 Mushahar settlements were also left. Traditionally, people work in day to earn food for night in these communities. Above 50% of their population don’t have Citizenship Certificate lacking their own land and permanent house. So, some external source was only a hope for such poor families. Zoological Society of London (ZSL) had supported a wildlife rescue to Mithila Wildlife Trust, which proven to be the best help during this Covid-19 pandemic. We were able to deliver food items directly to the house of families facing drought due to lockdown. Mayor, Dhanushadham and office of Dhanushadham Municipality, supported us to deliver food in Dhanushadham in their vehicle. This was also a great help during our Covid-19 response initiative. Several youth, youth clubs, community based organizations, social workers, local and national level leaders and community forest user groups supported us during distribution. And data of several wards and communities were collected by media personals during their field reporting. Some of youth clubs informed media personals and media personals informed us. In most of the cases, the media personals went themselves in the community to deliver the food relief materials. With support of our donors and supporters, we could deliver food at the most marginalized communities of Terai Dalit and Pahadi Dalit. We’re grateful to all who made it possible with their kind donation and in kind contributions, directly or through our supporting hands. Mithila Wildlife Trust
