Food & essential supplies
Dry ration, cooked food where needed, drinking water and essential household items for affected families.
Overview
Standing with communities when disaster strikes
Floods, storms, fires and other disasters can take away homes, livelihoods and a sense of safety overnight. The first days and weeks are the hardest.
Our Disaster Relief programme provides food, drinking water, essential supplies, and hygiene and health support to affected families, working with volunteers and local groups to reach people in a coordinated way. Earlier relief campaigns of the foundation include Bihar Flood Relief and Assam Flood Relief.
Relief campaigns are opened only when there is a real need, and campaign progress shows verified donations only. After the emergency, we stay to help families recover.
- Families who lose food, shelter and belongings
- Need for clean water, hygiene and health care
- Disruption of children’s education
- Loss of livelihoods after the emergency

Frequently asked questions
Why is there no disaster relief campaign open right now?
We open relief campaigns only when there is a real need. When a campaign is open, it is listed on our Campaigns page with details of how the funds will be used.
How do I know my donation reached the relief work?
Every verified donation receives a receipt, campaign progress shows verified donations only, and utilisation reports are published on our website once they are ready.
Can I volunteer during a disaster?
Yes. Register as a volunteer and mention disaster relief in your interests. Relief work can be demanding, so volunteers are briefed and given tasks that match their skills and the situation.
Someone is collecting money for flood relief in your name. Is it genuine?
Donate only through the Donate page on this website. If you receive a suspicious appeal, please report it through our Report Fraud page.
