Disaster Relief
First in, last out — feeding, sheltering and rebuilding when the storm hits.
What is the problem in West Bengal?
Cyclones Amphan, Yaas and Remal have repeatedly devastated coastal Bengal in the last 5 years.
Flash floods in north Bengal and Damodar valley displace lakhs each monsoon.
Relief reaches the highway villages — but not the inner Sundarbans islands or hill blocks.
What can be done?
Pre-position dry rations, tarpaulins and ORS at 25 block-level warehouses in Bengal.
Train 1,000 youth volunteers in first-aid, swim-rescue and CPR.
Rebuild not just houses but livelihoods — boats, sewing machines, livestock.
How can you & I solve this?
Donate the moment a cyclone is named — pre-positioning saves more lives than post-event aid.
Volunteer your truck, boat or warehouse during emergencies.
Sponsor one 'Disaster-Ready Family Kit' (₹1,200) — torch, dry food, ORS, whistle, tarpaulin.
Our Stand
"Climate change has made disasters a monthly reality for coastal Bengal. Preparedness, not pity, is what saves lives."
