Upon reaching the relief camp - St. Joseph UP School, Meppadi in Wayanad, we were struck by the overwhelming sadness. People were rushing to help, some carrying their loved ones’ bodies. Over 300 people were missing, with families torn apart by the tragedy. Our team quickly got to work, aiding in rescue efforts and providing care and medicine. A list of essential grocery items was compiled after meeting the camp cordinator. With the constant support that we were receiving from our donors, Alex Daniel and volunteers sought out these supplies locally as to help the shop owners earn a livelihood in the disaster struct region. We appeal to donors for help to provide necessary resources. Every donation, big or small, makes a difference in these families’ lives.

After landing at Kozhikode, Project Manager Alex Daniel was met by our volunteers. They loaded the car with essential supplies and set off for Wayanad. The scenic drive was overshadowed by the devastation of the landslide, which was heart-wrenching. The team encountered people mourning their loved ones, and volunteers became emotional. Alex Daniel motivated them by highlighting the impact of their efforts. With renewed purpose, the team pressed on, knowing their work was critical. This journey marked the beginning of our relief mission in Wayanad, providing hope and support to a community in need.

In response to the landslide crisis in Wayanad, Pledge Foundation has mobilized swiftly.
