About us

When the water rises, we're already loading the boats.

Rahat began during the 2014 Assam floods, when a group of volunteers in Guwahati packed food kits in a borrowed godown (sample story). They've responded to every major flood since.

Today we keep pre-packed stocks in two warehouses, train village task forces, and stay to help families rebuild.

In their words

  • Their boat reached our village on the second day. The food kit lasted us until the water went down.
