In response to the recent devastating monsoon floods affecting multiple Indian states, Binance Charity, the philanthropic arm of the global blockchain leader Binance, has pledged $150,000 (₹1.3 Crore) to assist ongoing relief and recovery efforts. This contribution will support Goonj’s Rahat Initiative, supporting urgent humanitarian aid to communities affected by the floods.
Binance Charity’s contribution will be allocated toward providing vital relief supplies, including essential food material hygiene and dignity kits, clean water, and temporary shelter materials for displaced families. By directing resources toward these essentials, Binance aims to alleviate the immediate suffering of vulnerable populations and contribute to sustainable recovery.
Kushal Manupati, Regional Growth and Operations Lead, South Asia at Binance, shared, “Our hearts go out to the individuals and families impacted by this devastating disaster. Binance is committed to leveraging its resources to support urgent humanitarian needs and help bring relief where it is needed most. Through our partnership with Goonj, we strive to ensure that aid reaches those who are struggling to recover from the floods. We stand in solidarity with the affected communities and will continue to support their journey toward rebuilding.”
Anshu Gupta, Founder of Goonj, added, “The scale of destruction caused by the floods is unprecedented, affecting thousands of families across India. Binance’s contribution will be helpful in relief efforts and deliver much-needed essentials to those in need. Collaborations between corporate partners and humanitarian organizations are essential to address the complexities of disaster response effectively.”
