FAQs

I am already contributing to Chennai Rain Relief? Are you not part of the groups that are working on ground?

- Calamity like this needs all the support from multiple groups (NGOs, Govt, Social Groups, Volunteers etc..) and the level of damage that these rains caused can't be set alright by any single group. We are trying to do our bit in the areas where we are already working (through our Grooming centeres). Idea is to help. So as long as you are doing your bit, it shouldn't matter whether you contribute here or somewhere else

How will know that the funds raised are spent for the right purpose?
- GHF team takes responsibility to publish the expense statement for all the funds collected for Rain Relief. Once we are done with Rehab, we'll be sharing the entire expense details will all the donors. We'll also keep you posted with frequent updates of the work that we are doing for Rain Rehab
