NGO in Sundarban — free legal aid & welfare support
Disaster relief, livelihood, and legal-awareness support for island and coastal communities of the Sundarbans.
Sundarban · সুন্দরবন · South & North 24 Parganas, West Bengal
The Sundarbans delta is home to some of the most vulnerable communities in West Bengal. Repeated cyclones and floods damage homes, farmland, and livelihoods, and many island villages are far from courts, hospitals, and government offices.
With our partners we support Sundarban communities through disaster relief, environment and livelihood programs, women’s training, and free legal awareness and counselling.
Also serving: Sundarbans, South 24 Parganas, North 24 Parganas. Our work isn’t limited to Sundarban — we serve communities across West Bengal, so reach out wherever you are.
