Kerala Floods - Worst Flood of the Century

34 dams opened up flood gates, 44 rivers were in spate and 3 weeks of torrential rains submerged 12 of the state’s 14 district in Kerala. Thousands of children in Kerala were stranded without schooling, without shelter and without regular food. Devastated and inundated by massive floods. We stood side by side with children and the affected people in the toughest circumstances.

Child help foundation was one of the first to start relief operation. Child Help Foundation team worked relentlessly, reaching the unreached,risking life, crossing unruly river Achenkoil in Alappuzha to provide relief to 35 stranded families who were not able make it to the Relief camp, clearing mud sludge from homes, so that children can be reunited with their families and enduring the fury of nature to help children in need. They are our unsung heroes.

Operation Titli - Support Orissa relief efforts

As the very severe cyclonic storm Titli made landfall in Gopalpur and led to a downpour in eight districts, Odisha was faced flood situation in its coastal belt throwing life out of gear. The worst affected district was Ganjam which was cut off from mainland. Aska block and Purshotampur block (two biggest and densely populated blocks in Ganjam district) it was marooned and even the NDRF team failed to reach the affected areas. The army and the navy were pressed into service to provide relief. Child Help Foundation team based in Orissa is worked relentlessly, reaching the unreached,  risking  life, crossing unruly flood waters to provide relief to  families stuck in their homes.

In the year 2018 another 19 districts were affected and Supaul is one of them. This intervention is about children from four villages namely Nayatola,Sikarhatta, Lalmanpatty and Dudhaila of Supaul district, who are affected by flood and its aftermath calamity. Their school life was disrupted, but still they have a dream to continuing schooling and CHF have hired a safe place to restart non formal schooling. We aim to reach the children of affected by floods in Supaul. They are our forgotten children.
