Cyclone Yaas Relief Project

Recently our team visited the Gosaba Area in The Sunderbans to bring relief to those affected by Cyclone Yaas.  In this area were able to distribute necessary items in three villages.  In these areas, the houses were waterlogged, and properties damaged with many household items destroyed. We encountered many people suffering from the loss of their income because their farming areas were destroyed, their water supplies inundated with salty water and there was extensive damage to public infrastructure. In this situation, some families are still living in rescue centres, with neighbours and friends, or on the roadside because their family home is either damaged or destroyed due to the effects of the Cyclone. On this occasion we provided support to these families through provision of dry food items, clothing, water and sanitary items. A total of 310 families were supported through this relief effort.  All this support came through local donations, and we were able to physically provide these in partnership with the local Panchayat member in these areas. We are so thankful to our generous donors who made this possible through their gifts!
