The worst floods in nearly a century have ravaged India's southwestern state of Kerala, leaving more than 300 dead and forcing hundreds of thousands to take shelter in relief camps.
CNN has identified several charities on the ground assisting those hit hardest by this flood. You can support their efforts by clicking the button below [at link above]or by going directly to the Public Good campaign here.

India's National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) reports a "40-50% excess" of monsoon rains this year. The unrelenting downpours are overwhelming dams and triggering landslides.
Over the last two weeks, many of Kerala's rivers overflowed their banks, ruining hundreds of thousands of homes. Rescue workers are using boats and helicopters to find thousands who are still trapped.
