Rural India has nearly half the Covid caseload, but less than 10% of Covid treatment centers in the country. In this context, the role of frontline workers (ASHA workers, Anganwadi workers, ANMs) becomes immensely important for triaging and managing the disease.

Frontline workers actively track and follow-up with millions of symptomatic and Covid-positive cases in rural areas daily. Unless their safety is ensured, more than half of Indias Population is not safe. Yet, most remain unequipped and fall victim to the disease themselves.

A basic safety kit will significantly reduce their risk of contracting Covid. Project CHHAAV in association with ImpactGuru.com seeks to support Indias frontline community Health workers with a basic safety kit, a pulse oximeter, and a pair of thermometers.

This initiative intends to provide self contained medical kits for 700 villages in rural Madhya Pradesh, India. Each kit will contain 1 oximeter, 1 digital thermometer, 2 face shields, and 5-layer reusable polypropylene mask.
