The world of Tzu Chi March-April 2022 (Vol.140)
05 Life took a drastic turn for Madam M and her family when her husband switched from being a cobbler to a casual construction worker, following the Covid-19 movement control order (MCO). With his irregular income, their typical daily meal consisted of only rice and eggs. Two years into the pandemic, many families, like Madam M’s, are still struggling financially, and Tzu Chi volunteers continue to reach out to these people on the fringe of society. So far, they have offered care and assistance to 2,012 needy families through KIK 2.0, to help them rise above the tides.
