Running Community Kitchen During Cyclone YAAS, in 2021
in Tajpur, Purba Midnapore, West Bengal
Currently this project is ongoing in the state West Bengal and Odisha in the form of providing emergency services whenever it is necessary (apart from only the natural calamities). We have organized multiple medical camps for both human and cattle in the most remote areas where still proper medical facilities are yet to reach. We also distribute cloths for the poor tribal community people from the remote parts of West Bengal.
OUR INITIATIVES
Mobile Medical Camp
We have organized more than 50 mobile medical camps in the remote places in multiple landscapes where we have served more than 3500 people with free medical care along with providing necessary free medicines. In our camps we provide both male and female doctors for patients of the camps so that female patients from remote areas do not hesitate to share their problems with doctors.
Suppling Edible Consumables
During the natural calamities we have supplied raw cooking items and packaged drinking water to the affected people during the time of natural calamities. So far we have executed this initiative during the cyclone Amphan and Yaas. We have been able to reach out to more than 15,000 people and provide daily rationing for a total of 156,853 days after the launching this EDM Program.
Supporting Stray Animals
After any natural calamities, the stray animals are neglected the most. Since they do not have proper shelter, during the calamities many of them died and the surviving are also become in high risk due to food and water crisis along with many chronic diseases. Under our initiative we tried to provide minimum food securities for the stray animals along with providing temporary shelters.
Wildlife Rescue & Release
Natural calamities displace wildlife at large. During such emergency time we conduct intense rescue operations and provide necessary treatments to them. If they cured, we release it into the wild. So far, we have rescued more than 15,000 wildlife during this kind of emergency period. If any animal died under our treatment we provide necessary information to the concern authority for data sharing.
Veterinary Camp
We have organized more than 50 free veterinary camps in multiple remote areas where the villagers receive not even basic veterinary supports for their livestock. In our free camps we supported more than 2500 families who have livestock, and their major livelihood depend on that. We have conducted free operations for the livestock in 73 cases.
Necessary Item Distribution
After the natural calamities, as an immediate response our team reach out to the people in devastated areas to distribute all the necessary items which are very important such as tarpaulins, dry cloths, baby food, bleaching powder etc. Till the end of 2024, we have been able to distribute 1500+ tarpaulins, 10,000+ dry cloths and 5 tons bleaching powders in the affected areas.
Women Hygiene
After the natural calamities, women hygiene gets hugely hampered due to the crisis situation. In order ensure our women’s hygienic during such times, we try to reach most of the key gathering areas to distribute free sanitary napkins for women. Till the end of 2024, we have distributed more than 2500 sanitary napkins in very remote areas of Sundarban Deltas.
EIA
After any kind of natural calamity occurs inside our working area, we conduct Environmental Impact Assessment or EIA by ourselves to understand how much damage has been done due to the calamity in the impact areas. These studies are done with proper scientific methodologies to properly understand and valuate the damage reporting.
Community Kitchen
After any natural disaster we ran community kitchens in the areas in the vulnerable areas where people are in terrible situations. Till the end of 2024, we have ran community kitchens in 21 different locations to feed the victims.
