The floods have destroyed everything from homes to hospitals to basic food supplies. The people of Kishanganj need rescue and rehabilitation on a huge scale. But neither media nor Government is focusing on these areas. Our goal is to raise funds to help buy the essential lifesaving items like rescue equipment, medicines, and commodities in India.
We will continue to keep everyone updated as we make progress in our rehabilitation process and if you have ideas and suggestions, please let us know. Together, we will make a difference.
About two lakh flood-affected people are living along national highway (NH)-31 and thousands other have taken shelter on Mahananda embankment in Purnia district.
Please donate generously as the task ahead is huge and will only become clearer as the waters begin to recede.
