Relief Organizations based in Kashmir
- Kashmir International Relief Fund KIRF is the largest and one of the longest established charities in Kashmir. KIRF's projects since 1992 have helped the equivalent of about one sixth of the total population of Kashmir. One part of our earthquake efforts is to provide shelters to house 1500 families in 5 villages surrounding Bagh - approx 10,000 people will be protected through the winter with shelters better than tents - please visit www.kirf.org to work with us. KIRF has and will always work in Kashmir – especially when the world’s attention turns elsewhere.

Phase 1 is to provie immediate relief. Phase two is to provide permanent housing.
- Kashmir Earthquake Relief (K.E.R.) Kashmir Earthquake Relief (K.E.R.) is working on the ground in Kashmir to provide emergency relief and rehabilitation assistance to thousands of quake victims. We are sending ready-to-deploy "Community Shelter Camp Kits" that will offer life-saving shelter, water purification, food, and sanitation solutions.

Items will be collected for the first shipment this Saturday morning at various locations around the New York City (see below for details) until Friday October 14 at 8pm. We encourage everyone to pass this around to your co-workers and friends. If you are able to, collect from other people on your own and drop items off at one of the official collection points.
