On March 6th May 2024, many districts in Manipur experienced a severe hailstorm
accompanied by strong winds. ( just like we saw in Mumbai today )
For as little as rs 6230/- , we can help one family with 3/6 = 1 bundle of metal / tin sheets to cover their roof as well as a 50kgs bag of rice.
Please check this on Google and see for yourself
The hailstorm resulted in extensive damage to properties, vegetation, and livelihoods, destroying approximately 15,417 houses that wreaked havoc in parts of Manipur.
The affected districts, include Imphal East, Imphal West, Bishnupur, Thoubal, Kakching,
Ukhrul, Tamenglong, Noney, Kangpokpi, Curachandpur, Kamjong, Chandel and Tengnoupalhave experienced varying degrees of damage to infrastructure and displacement of families.
While the hailstones shattered the roofs of the houses, other household articles and properties
including granaries, essential food items and clothing have also been damaged.
With the roofs broken beyond repair, people are now sleeping under tarpaulins and taking shelter with relatives.
The hailstorm affected people who have no roof over their head can’t wait for the government
to collect damage reports to receive assistance.
They need immediate assistance.
They can’t sleep under broken roofs amid rainfall.
They need tin sheets to repair the roofs of their houses.
Immediate intervention is required to provide relief and support to the affected populations.
Street Providence Manipur has collaborated along with DSSS Imphal which comes under the Archdiocese of Imphal to reach out to 2000 such poor families who need help in the form of
metal / tin sheets to cover their houses ASAP as well as a bag of 50kgs rice.
Our local staff in Imphal has reported about the terrible troubles the poor are going through as a result of this severe hail storm.
Our volunteers will be in Manipur after 4th of June 2024 to assist in the distribution of these relief items and provide relief to the poor.
We at the moment are not considering sending any material in a truck from Goa as its too much to handle in this heat.
It's time to once again support our NGO as we reach out to the poorest of the poor who have gone through enough of troubles for over a year and with no fixed source of income this natural calamity has just increased their agony & pain.
No negative comments please.
If you can't support it's okay no issue.
But imagine with as little as Rs 6230 you can brighten up a poor family during this calamity which they have just experienced.
You can also donate for Rice bags separately or metal / Tin sheets separately.
Our team in Manipur has taken quotations from 3 suppliers at the moment and prices will fluctuate in due course of time due to many local factors.
