In the wake of the recent floods in Delhi, leaving behind a trail of devastation and despair, the resilience and compassion of humanity shone through as communities united to support one another. As the waters receded, Smile Foundation swiftly started responding to the Delhi floods with determination and a steadfast commitment to disaster management. In the aftermath of the Delhi floods, we took some vital steps taken to alleviate suffering and provide much-needed relief to those in dire need.

The unforeseen calamity of the Delhi floods tested the mettle of the city’s residents, as families got displaced from their homes, livelihoods were disrupted, and the vulnerable among us found themselves in dire circumstances. However, in the face of such adversity, it was heartening to witness the spirit of togetherness and compassion that emerged, exemplifying the strength of a united community.

Assessing the Ground-zero Needs

This critical step allowed us to understand the diverse and pressing needs of the affected communities, empowering us to tailor our relief efforts with targeted precision.
