The Kerala IT Community pledges to give back to those who risked their lives and livelihood to save the lives of hundreds. "The sons of the sea" - the fishermen community.

Thank you for saving us!

The NammalOttaKettu@gtechindia.org team visited Aaalpad and Azeekal on 15 September, 2018 to hand over financial support towards repairing of boats. The fishermen of this locality like many had proactively and selflessly jumped into action to save people from the rising waters. The sail through the flood waters had caused damage to their boats to the extent that they had become unusable. GTech reached out to the community during the first week of September and within a week 6 boats are now set to be back into the sea.
