Association for India's Development
How are we effective to handle this catastrophe ?
- AID is an all-volunteer organisation (100% of your contributions goes to the needy)
- AID has already been working in these areas even before this Tsunami, we know the layout of the land
- While bigger agencies are sending assessment teams and plan long term rehabilitation, AID was out there on the Indian coast within 12 hours after the first wave with relief supplies.
