SAWED Disaster Relief Fund:

SAWED Disaster Relief Fund is an attempt to be more prompt and preemptive in the wake of any disaster and extend immediate support to affected communities. The idea is to be more responsive and prepared, by mobilising resources in advance so that the available funds can be utilised with immediate effect on the ground, thereby curtailing the risk of losing time and energy in fundraising post disaster. The key objective is to make financial resources available for immediate relief within 24 hours of any disaster and act as one of the first responders on the ground.
