Uphold raises donations for Chennai flood relief through Cloud Currency Platform

4.5 million people in Chennai, a southeastern coastal area of ​​India, are suffering from heavy rains and secondary disasters caused by floods. Sadly, more than 250 people have lost their lives in this disaster. Chennai, with a population of 43 million, is India's fourth largest city and an important base for India's information industry and automobile manufacturing industry. It is estimated that the economic losses caused by this heavy rain exceeded 1.5 trillion Indian rupees (about 14 billion yuan). The flood caused many factories to stop production and traffic was almost paralyzed. Cars were flooded, roads were sunken, flights were cancelled, and the daily lives of local people were seriously disrupted.

UpChi has launched a campaign to help the Chennai Relief Foundation, making it easier for anyone, anywhere in the world, to donate. UpChi has increased its donation to $20,000 (equivalent to INR 1,335,149), and all donations will go directly to the IDFC Foundation, a non-profit organization that will provide care packages including temporary shelters and basic medical supplies during the earthquake.
