Children and women are the worst affected in any natural calamity. Officials from SOS India visited the relief camps and spoke to the families to understand the support they required. Based on this assessment, relief kits for 300 displaced families were prepared keeping in mind the essential requirements of children and women in Mayur Vihar, Delhi.
SOS India promptly initiated the necessary steps, applying for relevant Government permissions from the District Administration to carry out the crucial relief work. Senior officials from SOS India held a meeting with the District Magistrate, seeking the necessary authorisations to proceed with the relief operations.

With the assistance of the District Administration, SOS co-workers and local volunteers within the community, the relief kits were successfully distributed.
