Workers on construction sites were especially hard hit by the Corona pandemic. With several initiatives, HOPE supported this vulnerable part of the population.
A construction site is not exactly the typical venue for Serva Seva Sang. The NGO normally works for street children and HIV affected women and children. Yet here the eight social workers were, in the heart of Brahma Sun City, one of Vadgaon Sheri’s largest construction sites, speaking to some 40 men and women in security helmets, stout shoes and working clothes. What was going on?
