In November 2021, Chennai experienced severe rainfall that affected people in unimaginable ways. Many homes were waterlogged due to the heavy deluge. Water entered people’s houses and ruined all their belongings. Daily wage earners suffered immensely as they were not able to go to work due to this sudden flood. Most individuals were unable to meet their basic needs or even have a proper meal. The police evacuated them, and they stayed in the nearby schools until the situation was stabilised. The condition worsened over time, becoming a serious threat to daily wage labourers, differently-abled people and others.
In light of this situation, we distributed groceries and dry rations to the people affected by the floods in Ennore and Ernavur. Daily wage employees, who were unable to access their places of employment and thus earn their livelihood, were delighted by our initiative. We also distributed groceries to the differently-abled people who were in despair due to this sudden calamity. Many of our children and their families from CHC, who were affected by the flood, were also greatly benefitted by this relief program.
All the beneficiaries were overjoyed and grateful that, during a time when they could not leave their homes to work or feed their families, our timely help had brought food to their tables.
