We successfully reached our goal in raising funds for Chennai flood relief. #keepchennaialive

Tamil Nadu is seeing some of the worst rainfall and subsequent floods in over a 100 years. The amount of damage caused was unprecedented. Roads have caved in, and traffic has come to a halt. There is incessant waterlogging, which is hampering relief operations. Over 200 people have died, and several thousands are stranded. Rivers have overflown, and spilled on to the roads, which have been reduced to stretches of potholes. There is no food, or electricity. Chennai has come to a standstill. And it needs all the help it can get.

Here's what I plan to do with the funds:
> Coordinating with kolapasi, for food delivery.
Kolapasi is a chain of food retail outlets based in Chennai. They have been distributing food boxes to people stranded in Chennai. Rs 90,000 will be used to distribute 6000 food packets to people affected by the floods.

>Funding essential medicines through my friends in chennai.
Being a doctor, I realise the importance of having essential medical care available for people affected. I am reaching out to my colleagues and friends to procure medicines needed at this time.
> Supporting other organisations in Chennai who are in the middle of relief efforts.
A number of credible NGOs/organisations in chennai who are doing amazing work on the ground, helping people in distress. We are trying to support their efforts.
We have reached the target and the funds that are coming in now will be used to support credible organisations in their relief efforts.
We'll keep you updated about how the funds are utilized. All the organizations that we're trying to partner with this initiative are found to be credible with a lage network of supporters. This way we can track the impact of your contributions and can also keep you posted on the same.

The work for the 'Reverse Osmosis Processed Water' Plant in Murichambedu village in Ponneri Taluk has started. The village is 20 km from the ocean and the groundwater has high salt content and is not suitable for consumption.
Kolapasi team visited few families in the village who informed that they get water once in 2-3 days through a pipeline which is supplying water to a village called Kattur. During the floods last year, the families were cut off from other villages and faced a severe water crisis. Once the RO plant is complete, the families will have access to water without having to travel to the next village.
We will share few photographs of the location and the RO plant work shortly.

We have put together a month-wise update of the rehabilitation efforts on the ground in Tamil Nadu. Your support has made this possible and we can't thank you enough. Here's an update for the month of March, April and May
March
Major Activities- Finalising schools for distribution of books
The following schools were identified and books were distributed to the students.

April
Major Activities- Identified a village in need of help. Identified vendors for RO plant
Volunteers identified Murichambedu village in Minjur Block, Ponneri Taluk facing severe water crisis. Since the village is 20km from the ocean, the groundwater has high salt content and is no suitable for consumption. People living there has been facing water crisis for quite some time and the floods just aggravated the problem.
Kolapasi team visited the place, discussed the issues with the families living there. The villagers have proposed for a ‘Reverse Osmosis Processed Water Plant’ which will solve their water crisis. We reached out few vendors for the RO commissioning and received estimates for the same.
May
Major Activities- Finalised the Vendor, Transfer of funds (In process)
A vendor has been identified for the RO plant commissioning. We have received an estimate. We are in the process of finalizing the dates of commissioning the plant. We will keep you posted about the transfer of funds towards the vendor and will be sharing an update once the commissioning begins.
