As many of you may know, Kerala has experienced severe floods in 2018 and 2019. It is said to be Kerala's worst floods since 1924. These floods have caused countless landslides, extensive crop and property destruction. 

In 2018 Amma had donated ₹10 crores [$1,418,000 U.S.] to the Kerala Chief Minister’s Distress Relief Fund. This year M. A. Math on behalf of Amma will donate ₹100,000 ($1,500) to every family who has lost one or more family members in these floods. To date, more than 100 lives have been lost and more than 50 people remain missing. In last year’s floods, the death toll had reached nearly 500. Amma feels the recent floodings are due to the indiscriminate chopping down of trees and other such abuses of nature.

Proceeds from the Silent Online Auction will benefit the victims of these floods. To find updates on Embracing the World's response to the Kerala flood relief efforts, visit Kerala flood relief
