Bangalore Flood Relief - Around Sarjapur Road

Since the last few days rains have lashed Bangalore flooding areas like ORR-Sarjapur Road. For many families this has created a logistical nightmare!

For the poor communities in these areas it has become a matter of survival. Their homes are inundated with water. The roofs made of recycled carton boxes and old cloth are soggy and dripping through. Their food rations are now soiled with rain and sewage water and not safe for consumption. They have no where to cook, buy potable water or stay dry.

The basic requirement of food, water and shelter has once again become a matter of grave concern for many poor migrant families. Beyond this, due to the disruption, many daily wage labour are now unable to work - certain activities like soil digging, rag picking, gang work for construction, etc has come to a grinding halt.

So, there is little scope to earn, buy and eat.

At areas around Sarjapur Road, we will distribute the following across the next 2 days (and may need to extend upto 9 Sep, 2022 based on weather conditions):

• Tarpaulin sheets - 2 per family, 12 feet *15 feet, 250 gsm) as roofing to protect against the rain
• Packed meals for individuals
• 5 Lts cans of drinking water for each family

Impact:

Food, water, tarpaulin for protection from overhead rain to

• Families - 670 families
• Individuals - 2801 individuals
• Communities - Around Kodathi and Yamare off Sarjapur Road

More Importantly, poor citizens are provided safety and security during a natural calamity.
