Heavy rainfall in mid July 2019 caused landslides and flooding in 32 Districts across Nepal. Flooding was most severe in 11 Terai districts of Provinces 1 and 2. A large loss of life and damages to assets, housing, water and sanitation infrastructure, food stocks, crop and livestock all have a significant impact on food security in the region.
An estimated 212,000 people’s food security was significantly affected as a result of the flooding, of which 101,600 people, or 17,400 households, were deemed to be the most in need of assistance.
Chay-Ya selected Rautahat, Sarlahi and Dhanusa district which was among the worst affected areas to distribute aid prioritizing marginalized group such as single women, dalits and differently abled people. Chay-Ya was able to make a big impact distributing relief support with the help of donations from generous donors around the world. Chay-Ya provided assistance to 3675 people from 475 families with basic necessities like food, water purification tablets, etc. and tent tarpaulins!
The people will always be grateful to the donors and distributor during these hard times.
