Appeal to help Tsunamis affected people of coastal Southern India

Giant Tsunamis unleashed by a massive undersea earthquake in distant Sumatra lashed coastal southern India on Sunday morning, killing several thousands people and affecting millions of people in Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, Pondicherry and Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Worst affected is the fishermen community who generally reside along the coast.

Volunteers from Sewa Bharati, Jana Sankshema Samiti, Vivekanand Kendra and several other organizations have swung into action and are providing the much-needed rescue and relief services to the victims. Emergency medical services including medicines, food packets, drinking water, clothes are being provided. A quick survey is also being done to estimate the destruction. All of us should join this effort in this hour of crisis.

Sewa International in association with local organizations, is planning to work for the rehabilitation of affected families including:

  • Medical services

  • Distribution of fishing nets, assistance for purchasing and repairing fiber boats

  • Repair of diesel engines and supply fuel

  • Distribution of textbooks, notebooks and uniforms to students.

  • Construction of houses.

  • Repair and construction of community infrastructure.

Sewa International makes an appeal to come forward and help us serve those affected by the killer Tsunamis.
