Similarly, there were many other individuals, poor men and women, who were helped across the Country to start livelihoods and take care of their families.

AMP's Mission of feeding Poor and Needy!

Last year in 2021, due to the 2^nd wave of #COVID-19 pandemic & lockdown, we witnessed an unprecedented loss of human lives and families facing shortage of rations etc. Through the news channels and press reports, we saw how people lose their loved ones on such a large scale that many lost their sole earning members of their families.

AMP once again rose to the occasion and launched its Countrywide campaign (#FeedthePoor) on IndiaZakat.com (IZC) to provide Ration Kits to the Poor and Needy during Lockdown. We distributed around 1500+ Ration Kits worth more than Rs. 15+ Lakhs from both IndiaZakat.com platform as well as by AMP Teams, among needy families in 100+ cities across India.

These ration kits were distributed across cities, both big and small and we were able to reach many families because of our strong network of volunteers who helped in sourcing, packing, transportation and distribution to the needy families.
