Our partners explain:
After the floods, because the crop was totally washed away, the agricultural workers, especially Dalit people, did not have any work or daily labour. The only option was either to migrate out or to distressingly sell their few assets like bicycles, goats, cows etc.
We supported them by providing rations to meet their needs while the clearing of the floods was undertaken. Dry food provisions were given and ponds were drained, so not only helped improving the water and sanitation situation post-floods, but also ensured food security for at least a week in that critical period.
We continue to work in the area. We’re now helping organise people into farmers groups and migrant labour groups, conducting trainings etc. We’re also trying to link people up with Govt schemes.
We would like to develop livelihood interventions in dairy, fishery, goatery, backyard poultry, kitchen gardening, horticulture and bee-keeping but require further funds to do so.
Thank you for your support of this project, which continues to help community recovery from devastating floods.
