AP Flood
GOAL
To alleviate the suffering of the flood-affected families by strengthening their livelihood and food security support systems, linking the relief and rehabilitation to the development process
The Big Picture
The AP flood of 2005 made it double the disaster for the people. The coastal areas had been struck heavily by the south Asian tsunami just months earlier in December 2004, from which the people had barely recovered.
This made it mandatory for a re-think of the tsunami intervention strategy and some new-think on linking relief to development.
So the flood relief provided by CeFHA and partners went beyond relief and took into account the past and the future of the company.
Outcome
- Regularization of school in the Village and Continuation of children’s education
- Leadership building
- Formation of women’s groups, savings and income generation
- Empowerment of women
- Health consciousness

Food assistance was the immediate need which CeFHA and the partner organisations worked on. Food assistance had to be unconditional, purely humanitarian with no strings attached, but the CeFHA effort managed to tie it to an outcome, directed at letting the community see its self-worth
