I choose the Karuna Trust charity because they help the poorest and most unfortunate people in India who especially need help because of coronavirus. I have been to India lots of times and its sad to see the poor people especially the kids. Some information from my charities website is below.

Those most affected are known as Dalits, literally meaning “broken people”, who are placed outside the caste system on the basis of birth. Considered “impure”, and therefore “untouchable”, they are seen as fit only for the most degrading and humiliating work, such as cleaning out public toilet pits or working in toxic brick-making factories.

Despite the illegality of this so-called “untouchability”, over 200 million people in India and Nepal still suffer the social exclusion and stigma of being born as a Dalit. They are routinely denied access to education, food and the possibility of a dignified existence. Many more are rejected care at hospitals, refused protection by police, all while regular atrocities committed against them are ignored.

Dalit children and women are particularly at risk. More than half of Dalit children drop out before finishing primary school, while women suffer the double discrimination of gender and caste, with most being taken out of school early to be sold into marriage and household service at the cost of their own independence.
