Xokaah

Flood is an yearly experience for people of Assam. Every year a great loss occurs to the people of Assam be it life or property. The situation is aggravated by lack of pre-flood preparedness. Also post flood relief measures are often limited due to insufficient funds. 

Floods are natural phenomenon that can't be stopped, hence preparedness and post flood damage mitigation are of utmost importance in the ground. 

Earthful Foundation has been actively involved in flood relief activities for last few years under our project named "Xokaah". Xokaah, an Assamese word, means relief. We have been distributing reusable kits with basic essentials as pre-flood preparedness measure to few flood prone villages of Assam. We have installed solar lights in those villages to cope with flood water at night. We have distributed ration, drinking water, clothes, etc as post-flood relief measures. This year too we aim to continue with the aforementioned work and enhance our reach into more areas.

Besides providing temporary relief, our initiatives will provide sustainable solutions to the people during flood. The emergency kit we distribute will keep them aware and ready before the arrival of the flood. During floods, we will be working at the forefront to provide them with their basic necessities . After flood we will help them rebuild the damaged Infrastructures as per our capabilities. In this way we will be able to hold hands with them and provide them Xokaah (Relief) in the disaster.
