How we can help the people what have lost their lives in the flood of Kerala?
Answers
As the state of Kerala witnesses the worst flooding in 100 years it will take months, if not years, for the state to rebuild itself. The effort will need a million hands and an estimated Rs 20,000 crore. People across India have already risen to the cause - volunteering in rescue efforts and relief camps, donating money and materials towards those in need and urging others to do the same. Many though may be confused about how best to help - whether their money is going to the right causes and when and how is the best time to step up? GiveIndia is a donation platform and lists 200 NGOs that have been scrutinised for transparency and credibility. Its Chief Executive Officer Atul Satija explains how ordinary Indians can help Kerala and other affected regions get back on their feet. #KeralaSOS Over 300 people have lost their lives due to the floods in Kerala.
