Government, NGOs and Corporates join hands to Trace and Reunite Families in Bihar…….
Save the Children responds to the national calamity, launches appeal for Bihar's children.
5 million people, more than half them children, are currently living in rudimentary displaced camps, and embankments are taking shelter on roof tops, following wide spread flooding in the Indian state of Bihar.
During disaster situations, children are the most vulnerable and susceptible to water- borne diseases and respiratory infections. Food shortages affect children's nutritional levels and weakens them.
Save the Children is working towards providing immediate relief to over 10,000 families including 40,000 children with food, shelter, medical assistance and water purifiers. We need your support to ensure that the help reaches out to these affected and devastated families.
We express our sincere gratitude to:
