India appeal
Widespread flooding in southern India has left more than 2.5 million people homeless and produced a death toll of over 250 people. It has been described as one of the worst floods to hit this area this century. Personal stories of losing homes and livelihoods have been coming into the MRDF office from our local partner in Andhra Pradesh. Through them, we are supporting work to provide vulnerable communities with urgent supplies of food and water.
