Through our mission to uplift those affected by disasters – both natural and man-made – we continue to provide food rations, as well as fire safety equipment and training. |

As an associate of the United Nations Dept. of Public Information, we are grateful for our partnerships with Chief Minister Conrad Sangma, Shillong Police and Fire Brigade, Guru Nanak Gurdwara and the community of local NGOs. |
