Supporting vulnerable families with credible information and learning resources
The COVID-19 pandemic has created stress and panic worldwide, and the lack of access to reliable information only compounds the problem. It is especially hard for low-income, low-literacy families who are concerned about their livelihood, health and safety. We are helping the most vulnerable families who have limited access to internet, credible information, and empathetic support by offering audio resources they can access from their homes.

"I traveled back from Delhi to my village in Bihar because of Corona.
I don't have a TV; I rely on Dost's phone calls for information.
Please keep calling me."
- A Dost father who is a migrant worker in Delhi
"Because of Dost’s activities, I could teach my son to recognize colors and sort objects. I like having new ideas everyday and my son is able to focus better and learn new things."
- A Dost mother of a 3-yr-old
"I like the way the teacher explains things.
She tells us how to talk to children and how to teach them. I’ve set new routines and my children are now better behaved and show interest in learning. I like all this and never miss Dost calls.”
- A Dost mother of a 5-yr-old
