The Foundation has always stepped in and contributed to relief work after a natural disaster. Late in 2004, the tsunami that struck South Asia left in its wake a trail of death and destruction. The Foundation helped victims in Tamil Nadu and the Andamans at various stages. Initially, food, utensils and clothes were distributed. But after assessing the needs of those affected, a survival kit was put together, which included essential supplies and medicines. More than 1,500 kits were distributed in six villages of Tamil Nadu. Foundation volunteers also camped in the region and helped out in various other activities. Based on feedback from the locals, essential clothing was distributed in the Andaman Islands. The generous donations that poured in from both within and outside the organization helped the Foundation carry out its work.
