Right now there is no social security available, according to organiser Daisy Snow, a director of Ian Snow Ltd. founded by her parents.
“These people live on a hand to mouth basis, daily, their incomes have suddenly and completely STOPPED and they are going to starve,“ said Daisy in her appeal.
“Everyone around the world is struggling and in difficult positions right now, but we are really blessed to be in a country with an NHS and a social system (in the UK) that will not let anyone starve to death, I want to help the self-employed people of Jaipur who rely on a daily wage which is not currently possible to earn, so do not know how to feed their children because of the imposed lock down they no longer can earn any money.”
To date, they have raised £13,000, enough for about 73,000 meals and their target is £50,000.

This appeal coincides with the launch of Ian Snow's new SS20 clothing and jewellery collection. However only half of the new range is available now as the other half is stuck in India.
"We are donating 10% of every sale from any item in this collection directly to the street kitchen project we are running in Jaipur, India, which is currently distributing food to those whose incomes have suddenly stopped," said Daisy.
