Save the Children to collaborate with Kudumbashree in Alappuzha, Pathanamthitta
Save the Children, a child rights non-governmental organisation, will support 5,000 marginalised families and 10,000 children in Alappuzha and Pathanamthitta districts that have been hit hard in the recent heavy rain in the State.
In a statement on Wednesday, the organisation said the rain fury had caused floods and landslips, putting children at risk of displacement and loss of home and family.
The rising water levels in Kuttanad were leaving hundreds displaced. Children faced a high risk of water-borne diseases such as diarrhoea and conjunctivitis. They were sharing flood shelters with large numbers of unknown people, and this posed a significant risk to them, particularly of abuse and trafficking.
