Madikeri Flood relief

$721 of $5,000 goal
Given by 11 generous donors in 9 weeks

Help the people of this town that have lost everything due to Nature's fury.

Auckland

Kodagu district of Karnataka, India suffered heavy rains and flooding. This destroyed over 10 000 houses, putting over 5000 people in relief camps and dozens of death. Along with the severe loss of life, people lost their incomes, savings and entire livelihoods. Out of 12 major roads, ten roads were completely wrecked, which cut off major routes to others cities.

Some villages were utterly wiped off the map. Migrant workers who are employed in the area are at the risk of being sent back as many of the farmlands have been destroyed causing many family incomes to be at risk.

This natural phenomenon has caused deep distress to the people of Kodagu, and there are in desperate need of help.

This fundraising will be used to aid the families who are in improvised conditions, by supporting their children to go to school and have a healthy life, because disasters like this can leave the family with a big void filled with blindness. In this situation, kids go through trauma, and there is a high chance to not continue with their education, as the parent has no money to send them to school or buy uniforms and school books.

This fundraising will be an initial step threading towards a bright future of many kids. All your donations will be organised and corresponded by an registered organisation (IN_Need Foundation). More details and the impact of this fundraising will be made available on the foundation website “https://www.in-need-foundation.com/” and by the organisers NZ Kannada Koota – upon request.
