Support cloudburst affected families in Dehradun, Uttarakhand

On the fateful morning of the 20th of August, 2022, a cloudburst impacted Timlimansingh, Sarkhet, Thewa, Maldevta villages of Dehradun, Uttarakhand. (Short spells of extremely heavy rainfall in a small geographical area are known as cloudbursts)

The after-effects of the cloudburst has led to a severe fallout among locals who are in an utter state of shock and despair. Many people are feared to be dead and their houses completely destroyed by the debris of the Song River. These families are natives of the affected villages and are dependent on farming or on their small food stalls for their livelihood.

The Government machinery has sprung into full rescue operations. The homeless have taken shelter in government school buildings. In times of such a big catastrophe, we feel that the basic nutritional needs of those affected should be met.

The state authorities are already working on a war footing to re-establish normalcy through rescue operations and emergency medical services.

We want to support the affected families by providing them with dry ration kits. It would go a long way in sustaining their survivability at this point. 

We plan to provide dry ration kits costing INR.1,000/- per kit containing the following: 

Wheat Flour - 10 Kg, Chana Daal - 1 Kg, Rice - 3 Kg, Salt - 1 Kg, Turmeric - 100 g, 

Chili Powder - 100 g, Mustard Oil - 1 L, Mix Daal - 1 Kg, Tea - 250 g, Malka Daal - 1 Kg, 

Soap - 1 Pc, Sugar - 1 Kg

We, therefore, make an earnest appeal on behalf of all the affected and helpless families to make a contribution towards this campaign. We plan to support the region with 100 food relief kits immediately. Waste Warriors Society will take responsibility for transportation and distribution of these food relief kits.

Founded in the year 2012, WWS is an NGO and registered society working in the field of SWM primarily in the Indian Himalayan region of the state of Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh. 

Our relief campaign is intended to provide immediate relief to the affected region.

We believe that it is times like these when the tenacity of trustworthy relationships with our people is tested. There could not be a better way than extending our helping hand to people who are going through turbulent times.
