Dear friends and supporters,

Thank you for standing with Project RISHI! Because of your generosity, our Flood Relief Fund for Bharog Baneri has officially concluded having raised $2,215, surpassing our original goal of $2,000, with support from 4 donors. Every single contribution made a meaningful difference!!

How Your Support Will Help

Your donations will directly support families impacted by the devastating 2025 monsoon flooding in Himachal Pradesh. Funds will go toward:

    •    Emergency shelter repairs so families can safely return home

    •    Restoring access to clean drinking water and sanitation

    •    Repairing essential village infrastructure like roads and footpaths

    •    Health supplies, hygiene kits, and livelihood recovery for farming families

Because of our long-standing partnership in Bharog Baneri, we are able to ensure that funds are used quickly, locally, and in close coordination with community leaders. As relief efforts transition into rebuilding, we’ll be sharing updates on how funds are being used and what recovery looks like on the ground. We’re also preparing for upcoming health and education initiatives later this year. If you’d like to stay connected and follow our journey, we’d love for you to keep in touch through our updates and social channels. Follow us on Instagram (@ucbprojectrishi)! 

Perks & Next Steps

If any perks were associated with your contribution, we will be reaching out within the next week with details and timelines for distribution. Thank you for your patience as we coordinate thoughtfully and responsibly.
