Tilonia Centres will be located in strategic places where the $ 32/survival kit will be available for distribution to anyone who approaches the Centres. CONFIRMATION: They must show some documentation (voter card, Aadhar, pension papers, bank account) when receiving the survival kit. This is to record who has received it and inform the donor.

Perishable vegetable produce of hundreds of farmers in villages unable to reach local markets, because of the lock down, will be lifted from their respective locations at reasonable prices and distributed with the $ 32/ survival kit.

We request those interested to indicate how many such survival kits they are willing to support, at the costs mentioned above. All those who do so, may write to us on email or through other social media.
