We distributed lots of clothes from local donations, solar lights, toiletries, slippers and plastic cups to the affected families. The inhabitants of the last region accessible on foot mainly asked for solar lights, as this was what they needed most. The situation was different in Khaani, an area that is difficult to access and cannot be reached on foot. The people there have lost everything and asked for any kind of support. Some residents of Khaani even took considerable risks to collect the donations. Tragically, they have not yet been able to retrieve the bodies of the deceased from the village.

Our team has done an excellent job of assessing the needs of the local people. Other donors often tend to put donations in the wrong hands, but we were careful to reach exactly those who really needed help. Whilst many people stopped at the last possible drive, we walked for about 30-40 minutes to reach the last village within walking distance. There we were able to give the villagers exactly what they needed most - solar lights.
This mission was a challenging but rewarding experience. We were able to reach the people in the most affected regions and bring them much-needed help. But the work is far from over, especially in hard-to-reach areas like Khaani, there is still much to be done.
