Many villagers in West Bengal, live below the poverty line (25p a day) and stay in makeshift huts made of wood and plastic sheeting. A local charity have set up a network for distributing a daily subsistence of vegetables in such poor areas of West Bengal.
India Relief from Cyclone
Rebuilding Lives After the Devastation of Cyclone Nisarga
Severe Cyclonic Storm Nisarga was the strongest tropical cyclone to strike the Indian state of Maharashtra in June 2020. With wind speeds of 102 km/h (63 mph) at landfall in Alibag, the cyclone caused extensive damage, affecting thousands of homes and families.
The initial damage was estimated to be Rs50 billion (US$664 million), with countless homes, possessions, and livelihoods swept away in the storm. Families were left without shelter and basic necessities, facing immense challenges in the aftermath. Our relief efforts have focused on providing emergency aid, food, and essential supplies to those who were not helped by other charities.
The borewell now provides a reliable source of clean water to the village, supporting daily needs such as drinking, cooking, and irrigation. The impact of this borewell reaches over 500 families, dramatically improving health, hygiene, and overall quality of life. Water scarcity is no longer an issue for this remote community.
Bringing Clean Water to Villages in Need
Making a Difference in Ambet, Raigad
Recently, we successfully drilled a water borewell in the small village of Ambet, located in the
District of Raigad, India. This project has transformed the daily lives of the local community,
who previously relied on water deliveries by truck.
