http://www.chinar.org/

CHINAR is a U.S. based non-profit, non-political organization with a sister organization in Srinagar, J&K and has been running an orphan related project there for almost two years. Earlier this year CHINAR also helped the avalanche victims in the Qazigund area of Kashmir and is thus well positioned to offer help to the victims of the tragic earthquake.

UPDATE on CHINAR Earthquake Relief; November 22, 2006: CHINAR has adopted the village of Saidpora near Uri and is constructing semi-permanent shelters for 46 households in the village. The shelters are made of CGI and plywood sheets and salvaged materials and are being built in cooperation with the villagers.
UPDATE on CHINAR Earthquake Relief; January 1, 2006: We are happy to report that we completed the first phase of our earthquake relief and rehabilitation plan by mid December, 2005. The construction of all 55 shelters was completed on time and according to specifications. The residents of Saidpora and Balakote Patti were able to move in and enjoy the warmth and comfort of these shelters before the region experienced a heavy snowfall that cut off access to these and many other affected areas. We will commence phase 2 – long-term rehabilitation phase - of our plan in a couple of months. Many thanks to our donors for their continued generosity.

[edit] Action Aid in Kashmir

Dear Friend,
If you live anywhere else in India, here is one way that you can help the suffering victims of the recent earthquake in Kashmir:

You can collect or buy warm clothes, blankets, sleeping bags, sheets etc [in good condition please] from friends and relatives and then arrange to send them by truck/road transport to Kashmir [which will be cheaper, although less fast, than courier]. Please note that all this material should be in GOOD condition, and not torn or unusable. Please do NOT send dirty, torn or very old and fraying material.

Think of the thousands of people suffering in Kashmir with severe winter now approaching.

You could send them to my friend Arjimand Hussain, who heads Action Aid in Kashmir, who will arrange to distribute them in affected villages in Kupwara and Baramulla. The parcel [s] should be addressed to:

Arjimand Hussain
Action Aid
H-12 Cooperative Colony
Peerbagh
Srinagar
Jammu and Kashmir
