Extremely Severe Cyclonic Storm Fani ravaged the coastal Odisha on May 3, 2019, destroying homes, buildings, uprooting millions of trees, damaging electrical & communication infrastructure.

Your contribution, no matter how small or big is going to help the needy. Thank you for all your generous support – we are no more accepting donations for this cause.
