In Bidar, the initiative of our Artisan Champions has truly inspired us! After awareness sessions with our volunteers and on sharing covid safety resources, they took it upon themselves spread the awareness, make aid available on the ground, and get as many eligible people vaccinated as possible! We would also like to thank our local NGO partner Sahayog for helping us spread nutrition in the cluster.

Real impact can be made when we work together! Thus, we try to sync our effort with those with the local administrations'. In Himachal, together, we could develop an efficient covid care and management system. We want to laud the efforts of @thecolorcaravan @sethswati and all the volunteers, Naggar Pradhan Pradeep Thakur and the Panchayat & all our artisan and community champions.

Our Artisan Champions are doing a phenomenal job of not only spreading awareness about Covid-19 prevention and care among their communities but also working with our regional volunteers to make sure food, medical and other aid reaches families in need. In Madhya Pradesh, Umesh Pawar ji one of our Artisan Champions worked closely with our Volunteers Rema Kumar (@remakumar @remakumarofficial), Shantanu Sarkar (@finding_the__universe), and Harish Yadav to make sure ration kits reached 45 weaver families. We sincerely thank him and our volunteers for walking the extra mile for the health of our communities.

Please join our hands and help our artisan champions and volunteers do more for our communities and ensure safety and nutrition for all.

Thank you @ravikiran.barometre for introducing us to new phrases for aptly communicating about the sector through your post on Facebook. ...

The true spirit of our community is seen when everyone comes together to lift the spirits of the burdened. This is exactly what happened with our Covid Relief efforts in Kollam Kerala where our volunteers got in touch with the artisans, listened to their needs, and ensured that timely ration kits reached over 50 women artisans and their families. They also arranged emergency medicines at the hour of need. @craftscouncilofindia helped in paying the hospital bill of a critical patient. And Kirti Poonia (@raising_okhai) of @okhai_org and @thevofashion helped promote the wonderful work of these women who make intricate laces by hand!

As our response, we have organized ourselves into regional teams, with a focus on building community resilience within artisan clusters. Our regional teams are constantly trying to reach out to artisans in the remotest areas and assessing the needs on the ground. The teams are also persistently trying to connect to and work with the local administration to provide relief where needed. Our local partners in Uttarakhand, JP Maithani from the Aagaas Youth team and our associates through the Co-win Action network worked together with the local administration including the health secretary, CMO of Chamoli, DR. Jyotsana CHCH Joshimath, and local pharmacist to ensure that numerous families in the remote villages of Dumak & Kalgoth of Chamoli get timely medical help needed.

We are deeply thankful for everyone who pitched in to make this possible.

Help us reach out to more artisans and aid those in need.

Fortnightly Relief Update:
The Covid19 second wave has hit us with devastating ferocity. Just as artisans were beginning to limp back to some sort of livelihood normalcy, they now face the threat of health uncertainty coupled with livelihood breakdown. As our response, we have organized ourselves into regional teams, with a focus on building
community resilience within artisan clusters.

We are reaching out to artisans in remote areas to assess risk perception and community preparedness. We then identify and train artisan champions to build local systems for awareness, home isolation, and community care.

Donate and help us reach out and help more artisans in need (link in bio).

As all of us come together to help prepare artisan communities for the second wave of COVID, one of the primary steps we are taking is to promote vaccinations in regions where it is available. Due to widespread fear of the vaccine, a lot of artisans are continuing to be vulnerable at the most critical time of the pandemic. Thus artisans and CD volunteers, who have taken or registered for the vaccine are advocating it for their communities by sharing videos about their own stories. If you too work with artisan communities, do share your story

We Need Doctors for India’s Artisans!

If you are a medical professional this message is for you:
The second wave is already beginning to hit smaller towns and villages where the doctor-patient ratio is very low; in some states, a single doctor serves almost 40,000 people. Thus, remote medical support is crucial now more than ever. Your skills will ensure that the right information reaches India’s rural artisan communities at the right time. All it will take is a few hours of your time.
Inviting volunteers from the medical fraternity - doctors, nurses, medical students, and others to join Creative Dignity’s volunteer community to provide medical support where it matters.

If you are not a medical professional and want to help, do spread the message and help us get in touch with volunteers.
