India’s rising heatwaves are turning homes into danger zones. Your support can provide survival kits and cool roofs for families with no access to water, shade, or relief. Donate today to protect lives.
Extreme Heat. Real People. Urgent Action.
Temperatures across India are breaking records, with cities like Bhopal, Varanasi, and Delhi already facing 40°C+ heat in early summer. But for families in underserved urban areas, heat is more than discomfort. It’s deadly.
No water. No electricity. No shade.
For millions, especially in informal settlements, there is no escape. SEEDS’ Under the Umbrella campaign brings immediate and long-term relief to communities on the frontlines of the climate crisis.
Your support will help us reach over 5,000 vulnerable people across Delhi, Bhopal, Chennai, Varanasi, Lucknow, and Bhubaneswar through:
- Emergency Heatwave Survival Kits Including essentials like an umbrella, water bottle, cotton towel, protective cap, ORS, and more.
- Climate-Resilient Cool Roofs Simple, low-cost cooling methods using locally sourced materials such as bamboo, jute, terracotta, cow dung, and mud, that reduce indoor temperatures by 4–5°C, saving lives and livelihoods.
How You Can Help:
💧 ₹1,000 / $12 – Provide a survival kit to 1 person
💧 ₹5,000 / $60 – Provide 5 survival kits
🏠 ₹15,000 / $180 – Cool a roof for one family
🏠 ₹75,000 / $900 – Cool roofs for five families
These solutions are designed with communities, using local materials and labour. They offer dignity, agency and life-saving protection.
The climate crisis is real. But its worst effects aren’t inevitable.
Donate now to protect families from the brutal heat and offer them a safer tomorrow.
🌿 Every contribution brings someone under a safer, cooler umbrella.
