Binance Charity, the philanthropic arm of cryptocurrency exchange Binance, said Thursday it has donated Rs 3.3 crore to Goonj‘s Rahat Initiative to provide urgent Assam floods relief, as the northeastern Indian state grapples with its worst flooding in more than six decades.

The death toll from the floods has climbed to 105, with more than 1.2 million people across 25 districts and 2,734 villages affected at various stages this year, according to the latest official reports. Earlier in August, 349 villages in Golaghat, Sivasagar, Charaideo, Bajali, Dhemaji, Sonitpur and Jorhat districts were reported affected.

The urgent Assam floods relief funding will go toward essential supplies including household items, hygiene kits and tarpaulins, distributed according to the needs of affected communities.

In a statement, Binance Charity said the contribution is expected to reach 27,500 families across the flood-hit districts, supporting both immediate relief and longer-term recovery efforts.

“Our thoughts are with everyone affected by the devastating floods,” said SB Seker, Head of APAC at Binance. “In times like these, it is crucial that communities and organizations come together to support those most in need.

By working with Goonj’s ‘Rahat Initiative,’ we hope our contribution will provide urgent relief on the ground and help families begin the long journey of rebuilding and recovering.”

Anshu Gupta, founder of Goonj, said the scale of loss across Assam this monsoon season has been staggering, with nonstop rains forcing residents into makeshift shelters and destroying months of stored grain and livelihoods overnight.

He said the support would help the organization move faster in delivering relief material to hard-to-reach districts while sustaining a longer-term presence during the recovery phase.

Goonj has also opened a public fundraiser for individuals wishing to contribute directly to the Rahat Initiative’s flood response in Assam.
