The COVID-19 pandemic has affected marginalized rural artisans in Nawada Bihar in unprecedented ways. The lockdown means they have completely stopped earning their living, leading to a sudden and devastating destruction of their business.
Grameen Foundation is working urgently to provide unconditional cash transfers to the most vulnerable clusters of artisans in Bihar and Maharashtra to helping them revive their livelihoods again.

Keeping families, and hope, alive during COVID-19
Dionicon Bengan
Surviving, with help
Dionicon and her husband lost their jobs when COVID-19 hit. So their six children would not starve, they worked as field laborers. When the lock down ended that work, they didn't even have rice to eat. They put their money to work growing and selling vegetables and are now able to get by.
Kristine Boniba
Getting by, with help
A 33 year-old mother of three, Kristine's business was crippled by COVID-19. Through Grameen's COVID-19 Emergency Relief, cash support for rice and basic necessities during the worst time of the shutdown has kept her family afloat. Short on capital but big on dreams, Kristine dreams of one day putting a grocery next to their church.
Why emergency cash?
