Association of Meiteis in the Americas (AMA) has supported relief efforts in Manipur through donations to Clubs and Civil Society Organisations (CSOs). AMA has also announced the completion of its donation drive for various Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) and clubs involved in relief efforts for the displaced individuals affected by the current Meitei-Kuki ethnic conflict of Manipur.
Following the initial round of fundraising, AMA in a press release said that it has successfully concluded the collection of funds, achieving a resounding success in our recent crowdfunding campaign. AMA had raised a sum of over $20,000 (about INR 1650000), thanks to the generous contributions of more than 300 donors. The collected donations have now been efficiently disbursed to the relevant Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) and clubs actively engaged in the relief efforts. These organisations are diligently working towards addressing the urgent needs of the individuals affected by the conflict, said AMA.
“We express our utmost appreciation to all the donors for their unwavering support in making this achievement possible.
AMA would like to express its gratitude to all the generous contributors who made this accomplishment possible. Their support and contributions have made a significant difference in assisting the displaced individuals and helping them rebuild their lives amidst the challenging circumstances,” said AMAM
AMA has extended its financial support to many Relief Camps in Manipur. The organisation was able to distribute the amount through several esteemed CSOs and clubs that have been actively working to provide aid, shelter, and necessary supplies to the affected individuals residing in those relief camps. The donation aims to alleviate the suffering and provide essential resources to those who have been forced to leave their homes due to the conflict.
It stressed on the importance of solidarity and humanitarian assistance during times of crisis. “As a global community, it is our responsibility to extend a helping hand to our fellow Manipuris in need. This donation reflects our commitment to supporting the Meitei community and assisting them toward recovery and resilience”, said AMA.
AMA expressed its gratitude to all the CSOs, and clubs for their unwavering dedication and tireless efforts in providing relief and support to the displaced individuals. The collective resilience and compassion demonstrated by these organisations are truly inspiring.
