The Habitat for Humanity India, an NGO, plans to build or repair 6,000 homes of those affected by the deluge in Kerala.
The initiative is being taken up by the NGO as part of the second edition of Jacqueline Builds — a unique campaign featuring Bollywood actor Jacqueline Fernandez.
The second edition to be held in December this year, would focus on rebuilding homes that were fully or partially damaged by the deluge, a press release said.
The campaign would have Jacqueline Fernandez visiting a few flood-affected areas in Kerala. She would also urge her fans to come together to rebuild Kerala, the release added.
The Habitat for Humanity India is actively involved in the relief operations in Kerala. In the first phase of the relief work, the organisation provided First Responders’ Kit, a humanitarian aid kit and bottled drinking water to 93,889 families.
In the second and third phase, it would construct or repair homes for 6000 flood-affected families in Pathanamthitta, Alappuzha, Kottayam, Idukki, Ernakulam, Thrissur, Palakkad, Wayanad districts and rehabilitate them.
The release quoting her said: “This is the time when the people in Kerala need our whole-hearted support to bring life back on track.”
