Natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods and forest fires create havoc in many parts of the world despite efforts taken to reduce their impact. Consequently, people lose their homes and livelihoods, often with little or no warning.
It is heartening to note that governments worldwide focus on providing adequate disaster relief for those who are affected by natural calamities. In addition to government organizations, there are many charitable and non-governmental organizations that make valuable contributions towards relief efforts during these difficult times. Today we will take a look at what kind of help is available for victims of disasters through both governmental and non-governmental channels, as well as ways you can help those in need during times of crisis.
The Mahim Dargah Trust has been actively involved in providing relief to victims of natural disasters. The trust has set up a special fund for this purpose and is working with local authorities to ensure that the funds are used efficiently and effectively. The Trust also works with other non-governmental organizations to provide food, shelter, medical aid, and other essential services to those affected by natural disasters.
