Relief by RST
Roshan Safar Trust provides disaster relief. It has helped many times during floods or any natural disaster that has happened around us. The city Kalyan, next to Ulhas River, which later merged into the Arabian sea. During the monsoon, this river often flooded and the slums near it were completely flooded. Mostly, poor Muslims are living in the area. During the Kerala Flood in 2018, a local drive was held to collect funds to help the flood affected people and we got a great response from the people. 3 Lacs rupees along with groceries, utensils, clothes, bed sheets, tarpaulins, emergency lights and many other required things were collected.
Disaster Relief
Roshan Safar Trust is always on its toes to help the needy people. We help many times during flood or any natural disaster happened around us.
Our city Kalyan in next to Ulhas River, which later merged into the Arabian sea. During monsoon, this river often flooded and the slums near to it drawn completely. Mostly, poor Muslims are living here.
During the Kerala Flood in 2018, we had started a local drive to collect funds to help the flood affected people and we got a great response from the people. We had collected about 3 Lacs rupees along with groceries, utensils, cloths, bed sheets, tarpaulins, emergency lights and many other required things.
Here are some pictures of flood-affected people, they were forced to leave their home and everything needed to survive with their families. Their houses were 60% in water. Housing was arranged for the victims and Roshan Safar provided them with cooked food and other necessary things.
Government help is always delayed and meanwhile they have nothing to help with survival. The people in need were supported until the water cleared and after it help was provided to settle them again with the help of local people and NGOs.
Relief During COVID
Covid and then Lock down period is still a nightmare to many. It was too tough time to handle by anyone. The daily wagers were going to suicide with families because of no income for a long. Everything is shut which lead lacs of people for starving.
Roshan Safar came up in a hard time to help the people with ration kits. we had supported thousands of people with it. First in Ramadan we had distributed 1000+ ration kits in Kalyan, 300 in Ahmedabad and 135 at palghar. Total about 1500 ration kits were distributed by us.

Educational Assistance
Education for all is one of the biggest things that Roshan Safar stands for. Being educated is a privilege that everyone should have access too and not just to those with money. Roshan Safar has spent a lot of time and effort raising money for kids to have access to knowledge. In 2017 a book bank was held to collect books to give to kids who are too poor to buy books. We distributed the stationery kit to around 250 students from primary level students to 7th grade students. The stationary kits included a 200 paged notebook, 100 paged notebook, and a pencil, pen, a ruler and eraser. These kits went to children who are really from very poor families. Many students had tattered uniforms & shoes. The classrooms were very small and crowded, and there was no playground for students as well.
