Modern society has developed and this development certainly has been an unwarranted and unexpected. We have developed as and how it came and we have never realized the need to understand our future and the importance of coexistence. Resultant is that we have invited nature's fury. Nature's fury has become a part of modern life. As a cost of our own foolishness and greed, we have beaconed in the nature's barbaric dance on the beautiful earth. Human has always learnt to overcome nature and though it's late enough for us to overcome. NHF as a humanistic approach certainly assures we will support and ensure our presence where ever any one is affected by any such disasters. We work by self and as a support and would join hands with one or many organizations to extend our support and service to every part of life and existence on earth.
NHF support during October 2009, flood in Kurnool and Mahboob Nagar.
NHF responded immediately to the havoc created during the never before seen flood's in October 2009 in Kurnool and Mahboobnagar districts of Andhra Pradesh , India . In total we have reached Govardhana Giri , Budda Basavapuram, Ayyavari Palli, Palle Padu, Chinna Goda, Pulluru, Vaishnava palli, Voddegeri, Kurnool Town and Gumadam of (Nandi Kotkur Mandal, Kurnool dist) These villages seemed to be a heap of ruins. Not a single roof top is left safe. Not a single house is untouched; the municipal water tank which stands about 35 feet above the ground, as said by the residents was totally submerged for 2 days in water. In real sense the flood water was flowing above 30 feet in these areas.
As said by some of the village elders there "We have lived all our lives in shackles and when at last we got a pakka house built under 'Indiramma Houses' (a govt promoted construction of houses for poor program), we have not lived even for one year under these roofs and today we are not even left with the shackles."
NHF distributed 5Kg rice, one utensil, a plate, a spoon, a saree, a dhoti, a blanket, 100 gram tamarind, 150 gm Toor dal, a salt packet, 100gm Chilli powder and 100 gm turmeric powder per family.
