AID Delhi collected woolens / funds for blankets for distribution to the people affected by cold wave in Delhi. Its was heartening to see a good response at a very short notice which enabled us to help those suffering due to severe cold wave gripping Delhi.

The Hundred Block Plan (HBP) program is currently active in 9 blocks of Bihar and 2 blocks of Jharkhand and has been mostly focused on children and women health.

AID India Flood Relief Report

"A few days ago we gave them catamarams. Today they came in catamarams to help us!"

Chennai (4th December)

Water from various tanks around the city broke their bunds and flooded large parts of the city.  In many places the water has come up to the ceiling of the house, in some place the water went over the roof!

In most places the slums were completely flooded and it was impossible to get inside the slum without a boat.  We quickly asked our volunteers from the fishing villages near Chennai for help.  We had recently given a lot of Catamarams in the Tsunami villages.  They now helped us by bringing the catamarams to help rescue people in Chennai slums.
