Indian NGO's desert kit provides relief to shepherds in desert

A desert kit project launched by an Indian NGO is making a difference in the lives of shepherds who travel long distances in solitude in the deserts.
The desert kits include blankets and jackets to protect the shepherds from the harsh winter of Kuwait and food items which they do not have access to in their routine life.
This is the second time these kits are being distributed. Around 70 members of the NGO went in search of shepherds in Kuwait's Salmi desert in 20 vehicles and distributed kits to 100 such people.
Most of them were living in difficult conditions with no connection to the outside world. It included people who have been duped by fraudulent agents who left them in the deserts.

The NGO named Youth India Social Relief in co-operation with Malabar Gold and Diamonds, distributed the kits to shepherds from Andhra, Tamil Nadu, Bengal and Rajasthan in India and Ethiopia, Sudan, Nepal and Bangladesh, a statement from the organisation said.
