Chennai has been paralyzed by the worst flooding in a century. Everyone from the huts along river banks to the people living in apartments have been equally affected.
In the immediate aftermath, Bhumi along with a consortium of non-profit organisations and individuals has been working for the immediate relief of flood affected individuals. Since, the tragedy has struck our volunteers have been collecting and distributing tonnes of relief material and thousands of food packets every day.
In the weeks since, we have been assessing damage in educational institutions and children's homes. We are repairing or rebuilding damaged infratsructure including toilets and roofs. We are also helping replace damaged uniforms, books and stationery and computers that have been lost.
In the coming months apart from helping the educational institutions and children's homes build their flood resilience we will also help the poorest in villages replace dmaged houses with low cost housing.
