Samatha Campaign for Wayanad Landslide Tragedy

Wayanad District in Kerala, India, is reeling from a devastating landslide that struck on July 30, claiming the lives of at least 200 people while they were asleep. Unanticipated heavy rains caused hillsides to collapse, unleashing torrents of mud, water, and boulders in a catastrophic deluge. The Government of Kerala is mobilizing support from all corners to provide relief and support to the affected people and to reconstruct the three villages that were totally devastated. The Malayali community in Australia, under the banner of Samatha Australia, is running a GoFundMe campaign to raise funds that will eventually be transferred to the Kerala Government.
