Monsoon Protection For Tribals

Nothing is better than the sound of heavy rain while you’re falling asleep. This is exactly how 695 Vaidu tribal families will enjoy the monsoons as their huts are now repaired with new plastic sheets. 3500 men, women and children will sleep peacefully in their huts without water leaking on to their faces.

Through the Anum Foundation, RCB has supplied 695 plastic sheets to the community. Here are snapshots of two people we helped.

Shanta Bai Dhotre, plastic waste collector, lives alone. Her family has deserted her due to her old age. She spends monsoons sitting in the rain and, for the first time in a long while, she has shelter, thanks to RCB.

Sunita Palgude, garland seller, has two young children. Her husband is alcoholic and comes home only when he has no money. Now, she and her children have a non-leaking roof over their heads thanks to RCB.
