Provide urgent relief to flood-hit people of Kerala

Torrential rains are wreaking havoc in Kerala, causing floods and landslides, claiming lives, and displacing thousands. The flood-hit regions require urgent relief in the form of drinking water, food, clothes, medicines and emergency supplies. This project aims to mobilise resources for the relief efforts in Thrissur District in coordination with local agencies.

Kerala is going through the worst monsoon fury in more than a century. Landslides and floods have claimed lives and destroyed homes. Many regions are isolated and inaccessible. 35 dams have been opened, worsening the flood situation. Many lives have been already lost, and thousands have been displaced. The ground realties are even more grave than projected. All 14 districts are currently under red alert, and more rains are expected in the coming days

The people in the worst affected areas urgently require clean drinking water, food, new clothes, and other emergency supplies. The need is very large, and the damages have not yet been fully assessed. The funds raised through this project will be utilized to support relief work in coordination with local agencies in the worst-hit areas.

It will take a long time to restore normalcy in the flood hit areas. Providing clean drinking water is expected to be a major challenge for many months to come. Once the emergency situation is overcome, the funds will be utilized for long term reconstruction and rebuilding.
