On the 30th of December 2011 Cyclone ‘Thane’ hit Pondicherry and nearby coastal villages of Tamil Nadu, India. Although, Cyclone ‘Thane’ has received minimal international media coverage the damage in Pondicherry and nearby areas of Tamil Nadu has been far more devastating than that experienced by the 2004 Tsunami. Areas surrounding the Cuddalore district of Tamil Nadu and Pondicherry were engulfed by devastating winds reaching up to 140 km per hour, claiming a total of 47 deaths in the area. ‘Thane’ not only lead to the destruction of electric poles, uprooting of trees and widespread damage to infrastructure, but with this came the dismantling of people’s livelihoods as well as risks to their public health and safety. 
Prime Trust needs your help in assisting marginalised women of the Pondicherry district with emergency relief supplies. Red Cross India is organising and coordinating an emergency relief operation for the devastated communities of south Tamil Nadu and Pondicherry. With the help of Red Cross India and six other local NGOs[1], Prime Trust are delivering emergency supplies to the 1,200 families still requiring basic care in the Pondicherry district. These families are in urgent need of tarpaulins, basic medical kits and sanitary items, basic food and clean water supplies. In order to achieve this Prime Trust and the poor and down-trodden people of Pondicherry need your help!
