WE WILL BUILD HOMES FOR 1 MILLION PEOPLE BY 2035
India is among the countries most affected by disaster displacement globally.
Floods, storms, and cyclones force millions of people in India to leave their homes every year. When disaster strikes, families need safe shelter quickly, not weeks or months later.
