VIDE has raised a significant amount of money in response to natural disasters in India and has supported several projects aimed at providing immediate relief to the victims and to help in their rehabilitation. The primary emphasis has been on rehabilitation programs.
Although most of the projects, initiated by VIDE have been on the heels of major disasters, the projects have been planned with the goal of providing long-term development and empowerment of the devastated victims.
