The Grant Facility for Humane Action was set up under the aegis of the Aavishkaar Foundation on the March 24, 2020, just days after a strict lockdown was announced in India. The Facility\u2019s objectives were to meet the mounting hunger faced by out-of-work migrant and daily-wage laborers, and support front line workers in remote parts of the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The delivery of the aid was managed through a collaboration with carefully selected grassroots non-profit organizations.
