Standing Together for Flood-Affected Families in Upper Assam

On 31 July 2026, the Kalong-Kapili family, along with our generous well-wishers, visited the flood-affected areas of Upper Assam and extended relief support to 500 families.

Each relief kit contained essential items, including biscuits, flattened rice (chira), instant noodles, oral rehydration salts (ORS), soup packets, and detergent, to help meet the immediate needs of affected families of the remote areas of Sivsagar district of Assam.

We express our heartfelt gratitude to every individual, volunteer, donor, and well-wisher whose unwavering support made this noble initiative possible. Your kindness and compassion have brought hope and relief to hundreds of families during this difficult time.

Together, we stand with the people of Assam. Together, we make a difference.
