Disaster Mangement

Disaster Mangement
Hope in desperate times

AIM Foundation is committed to supporting healthcare, education, and environmental initiatives, but in times of crisis, we shift our focus to immediate disaster relief. The Covid-19 pandemic, which left many jobless, particularly affected vulnerable communities such as sex workers, who were hit hard by social distancing measures. In 2020, AIM Foundation responded by distributing food packets to the children of sex workers in Rambagan and Sonagachi. We also provided essential ration supplies to street children in Kolkata and underprivileged individuals in Dakshin Dhupjhora, Jalpaiguri, helping them survive the lockdown.

Following the devastating Amphan cyclone, AIM Foundation distributed relief to 2,000 families in the Sunderbans, providing dry food, medication, sanitary napkins, and masks. We also set up community kitchens in Maipith and Kuemari Island, serving meals for 15 days in each location to support cyclone-affected communities.

During the first wave of the pandemic, we acknowledged the selfless efforts of frontline workers by distributing N95 masks and safety goggles to health workers and police personnel in Kolkata and Howrah. Similarly, after a fire devastated the Topsia area, we provided clothing to 500 affected families, offering support during their difficult time.

In the aftermath of Cyclone YAAS, AIM Foundation extended relief to 3,000 families across the Sunderbans, including Ghoramara, Maipith, Choto Mollakhali, and Bali Island. We distributed food supplies, medical assistance, and essential items like tarpaulins, rice, wheat, cooking oil, and sanitary napkins. To combat post-cyclone infections, we organized free medical camps and distributed medication in the affected regions.

Throughout the pandemic, we also conducted Rapid Antigen Tests for Forest Guards and local residents in the Sunderbans.

Our efforts were recognized and honoured by the Sunderban Tiger Reserve Authority, Government of West Bengal, reinforcing our commitment to disaster relief and community support.
