The aftermath of the Chennai rains has left many vulnerable communities such as poor neighbourhoods, schools for differently abled, orphanages and old age homes in complete disarray and in need of immediate help. This will include rebuilding compounds, restoring drainages and providing basic essentials such as bed frames, mattresses, utensils etc.. There are also schools which need desks, chairs and computers to function. Chennai will take months to recoup from the damages caused by the floods.
