The July 26th Mumbai flood was another opportunity
to use Akanksha's network of supporters and donors
to channel much needed relief to the affected communities.
Although all the communities Akanksha works in were
spared the brunt of the floods, Akanksha still needed
to reach out to other affected people.
Akanksha's relief work matched donors with people
in need. Within a week, Akanksha had distributed
thousands of crates of water, medicines and food
rations to the government, church relief centers
and other NGOs. Akanksha also initiated a huge
notebook drive of over 60,000 notebooks for children
who had lost notebooks and other school supplies
in the floods.
