Himachal Pradesh is known for its mountainous topography and unique climate which makes any adverse weather condition here far more challenging than in other places. Thousands of people who lost their homes require Interim Shelters that can withstand further rains and other hazards such as earthquakes or heavy snowfall. These shelters will be extremely helpful for the affected households in providing them an opportunity for sustainable recovery of their livelihoods and rebuild their homes properly.

While the Government and Non-Governmental Organizations are trying to provide the much-needed food items to disaster-hit people in Himachal Pradesh, the requirement of food items will not reduce immediately. Besides the provision of meals for the affected people, the specific nutritional requirements of pregnant women, lactating mothers, infants and children also need to be met. Ensuring equitable access to safe and nutritious food to the disaster-hit people will be instrumental in an early recovery.

Non-Food Items

In a terrain where people face relatively more hardships in everyday life, personal safety and well-being depends on the availability of various resources. The disaster-hit households have lost virtually everything, relying on humanitarian assistance to ensure safety and basic comfort. Your kind support can help us in providing much-needed items such as adequate lighting inside homes, containers for storing water, decent bedding, books and stationery items for children, etc. to the affected people.
