Relief goods arrived in Penthakata

The relief supplies have safely reached the Penthakata School and can be delivered from there to the victims of cyclone “Fani”. Our partner is making an incredible effort to provide for the families of our pupils.

We thank all our donors who have already made a contribution for the victims of cyclone “Fani” in Penthakata. It is wonderful to be able to count on your support.

The situation in Penthakata and throughout the state of Odisha is still precarious, countless families have lost their homes and sources of income and are faced with nothing. Every further contribution is of great importance for the people on site and ensures their existence.
