Tuticorin Flood Relief

In December 2023, floodwaters in Tuticorin, Tamil Nadu, caused extensive damage that uprooted families, destroyed homes, and disrupted livelihoods. Within days, the Active Bengaluru Foundation mobilised relief from across Bengaluru and drove it to Tuticorin.

What we delivered

• 2,500 litres of drinking water
• 4,000 biscuit packets
• 420 litres of milk
• 650 kg of rice
• 120 litres of oil
• 500 pairs of clothes
• Blankets, ration kits, and medical supplies

Who delivered

ABF volunteers Tauseef Ahmed, Mohammed Saif, Sameer Barde, and Mohammed Mehraj drove the relief in and distributed it on the ground.

In Tauseef Ahmed’s words to The New Indian Express:

Our goal was to reach those places that might have been overlooked. We wanted to make a direct impact.

Collaboration

This effort was carried out in collaboration with Milli Council KA, Palm Charitable Trust, Project Smile, Beyond Boundaries, Nawayath Club, and Be Charitable. ABF is grateful to every partner who collaborated.
