The following mail from an India Literacy Project volunteer explains some of the work of ILP, and their requirements for flood relief work. ILP's website is www.ilpnet.org 

==============

As you are aware, the recent flood situation in Northern Karnataka and some districts of Andhra Pradesh has brought about devastating effects to life and property. In emergency situations, children, women, disabled and aged, aret he worst hit.

Projects areas I am directly part of in KN and AP have been worst affected and in response to the assessed needs of children from the worst effected districts of Bagalkote, Bijapur, Raichur, Bellary,  Koppal  in Karnataka and Kurnool in Andhra Pradesh, India Literacy Project (the NGO I volunteer with and who work with government and UNICEF) is mobilizing relief material in kind and in cash for children in these districts

Recent field update is very disturbing as 1000s of children have been left with no clothes and mensturating women and girls have nothing to use.

To ensure that the material reaches the affected, the relief material will be distributed in coordination with Karnataka State Commission for the Protection of Child Rights, Bangalore and my team.

The fund raising is also being done only after clearance from government.

A. The REQUIREMENT is immediate supply of 8000 sets of new clothes fro children in the age group of 6-18. 

(each set comprises of a pair of undergarments and external wear)

for boys and girls in the age group of  8-18. This will cost us

around Rs. 15 lakhs pricing at Rs. 500/set. You may donate new clothes or donate cash for it. 

B.  For financial donations (Income Tax deduction available under 80G): Cheque / DD in the name of "India Literacy Project". (Please mention" Flood Relief" in the back of the cheque) Address: No 27, Narayani Apartments, 3rd Floor,  2nd Cross Ramakrishnappa Layout,   Sanjay Nagar, Bangalore 560094, Tel: 080-23519693.
