Just wondering if any flood Donation kit is currently sold at shops or department stores like Margin Free or Pothy’s? If not, now is the time to make a handy kit, which makes for easy contribution.
Such a kit can be packaged like this ( Rs 501 kit, or Rs 1000 kit) with essential items ( bed sheet, towel, T Shirt, torch, toothpaste, biscuits, etc.)
Probably, online stores like Flipkart or Amazon or Jabong, Kada.in should spring to action with a banner ( #Keralafloodkit) on their homepage. Same Day Delivery option!
What about Uber Eats or Swaap App or similar food delivery apps in Trivandrum? It would be a good thought if they can take delivery of Pothi Choru from selected shops to relief camps. (A special menu option on the App to donate)
Just sharing this thought.
1. On the same lines when a natural catastrophe of this nature happens in this country, a lot could be done by Online Stores. What they could do immediately is to create hashtag for instance in this case, it could be #keralafloodkitamazon or #keralafloodclothkitjabong, etc and share it on their social platform.
2. Second, create a banner which will take to a landing page which will have two or three specific kit.
( food kit, food plus medicine kit, food, medicine and cloth kit).
3. Share the pictures of beneficiaries who have received the kit. Also mail the copy of picture to the person who sponsored it.
4. Eventually estore will earn the goodwill for facilitating it and also they can earn some brownie points.

Role for Kudambashree in Kerala Floods
I bet this NGO is doing their best in helping people through their work or contribution. Here’s something more they can do:
1. Create a banner on their homepage
2. Make a make-shift food stall which makes pothichoru
3. Tie up with food delivery apps to take orders
4. Also make booth or collection centers to take old clothes and materials
