A housing and disaster response non-profit organisation Thursday said it will provide 10,000 humanitarian aid kits to flood-hit families in Kerala in addition to the 66,196 kits distributed in the immediate aftermath of the devastating deluge last month.
The organisation, Habitat for Humanity India, garnered Rs 34 lakh for flood relief through a crowd funding platform, a release said.
Noted film actor Kunal Kapoor, who is also the co-founder of Ketto- the crowd funding platform that helped raise funds - took part in the distribution of relief material Thursday at Aluva, one of the worst-affected areas.
Rajan Samuel, managing director, Habitat for Humanity India, and Kapoor interacted with the flood-affected people and distributed kits.
It also opened a 'tool bank' that will help several families to use the tools to clear their homes of debris and water.
"Celebrities and people from all walks of life have extended support to Kerala through our platform - Ketto," Kapoor said.
