Sukarya
aims to provide humanitarian assistance to areas affected by the

of Jagat Singh Pur and Paradeep of Orissa in 1999 and the earthquake
victims of village Khoru and Morvi of District Sunder Nagar, Gujarat
in 2001. In continuation of our work with disaster affected areas
we are working with full zeal in the district of Pudhunadukuppam,
Kanchipuram, Tamil Nadu to provide relief to the victims of the
Killer Tsunami tidal wave.

RELIEF OPERATION
FOR GUJARAT EARTHQUAKE
The earthquake in Gujrat ruined a number of lives in a few seconds.
During the relief operations for earthquake victims in Gujrat though
hundreds of organizations from all over the world had come forward
to help out the victims there were yet many areas still left unattended.
Khodu village of Surinder Nagar district was one such place and
Sukarya was the first NGO to reach there. Sukary helped in running
of the primary and secondary school normally by providing tents
for establishing classrooms and principals office etc. This was
an achievement in itself.. Our team went to Gujrat thrice to contribute
our mite to help out people in their times of need. The work was
truly appreciated by the whole village and UNDP.
RELIEF
OPERATION FOR ORISSA SUPER CYCLONE
Sukarya
reached out in a small way towards the super cyclone affected victims
of Orissa by providing them with medical supplies, water purification
kits, food, clothes etc. as a part of its relief measures. In addition,
in nearly eight villages in and around Bhubaneshwar Sukarya provided
