The team has set a target of providing relief supplies to at least 10,000 families, including food, drinking water, shelter (tarpaulins), sanitation and hygiene supplies, as well as solar lamps.
“While over 1.1. million people have survived Cyclone Fani in the coastal belt of Odisha – the strongest tropical storm to hit India in over two decades – they have no food, drinking water, or even homes to go back to. Our teams from Smile Foundation are already on the ground distributing food and water among various other basic necessities to help these lives get back to normalcy,” said Santanu Mishra, Co-founder and Managing Trustee at Smile Foundation, India.
“The foremost worry of millions living in cyclone shelters is about basic necessities like food and drinking water and therefore we are focussing on ensuring this,” said Santanu Mishra, Co-founder and executive trustee at Smile Foundation, India.
