If we get flooded again by monsoons this year, below is where you can get some help
List of Non Governmental Organizations (NGOs) in Mumbai
The Government can only help its people when the communities themselves take proactive interest in improving their lives and lifestyles. Whether it the ever mounting heap pf garbage outside your complex or it’s the mass destruction of life and property after a calamity, be aware that besides the BMC - its the NGOs that work with citizens in bringing about change. These are the people who can reach you when perhaps the government can’t.
Here are a few things that NGOs can do for you and the telephone numbers of some Mumbai NGOS. It’s also a good idea to print out the page or at least the NGOs in your area and always keep it handy. Also see Indian NGOs Working For Saving the Environment
Areas where NGOs Can Help:
- Help people shift to temporary shelters
- Offer clothes and food packets
