The Flood Washed Away More Than a Home. Help Jharna Morang Rebuild Her Home and Livelihood.

When the floodwaters swept through Santak Bor Miching village in Assam, Jharna Morang lost almost everything her family depended on.

Her home was severely damaged and is no longer safe to live in. Her livestock, an important part of the family’s livelihood, was swept away. Utensils, household essentials and many of the everyday things that made their house a home were damaged or lost.

Before the flood, Debeswar's household lived on an indicative ₹5,100–₹6,500 a month, coming largely from farm work and the livestock the family kept at home, based on typical income levels for similar households in the area and yet to be confirmed through field verification.

Today, Jharna Morang and her family are staying in a neighbour’s house.

They have ration and drinking water to help them through the immediate aftermath of the flood. This immediate flood relief is helping the family manage today, but rebuilding will take longer.

Jharna Morang’s family says: “Ducks and chickens were part of our everyday life and livelihood. We had 25 ducks, but the floods took them away. Around 20 of our chickens also died. For our family, these were more than animals, they were a source of income and a part of the life we are now trying to rebuild.”

For Jharna Morang, recovery means having a safe place where her family can live again.

What It Could Take to Help Jharna Morang’s Family Recover

An initial assessment indicates that approximately ₹2,27,000 could help the family rebuild their home, restore essential livelihood assets and meet basic needs during the recovery period.

Note: Recovery requirements and costs are indicative and subject to field and technical verification. Support will be prioritised according to assessed household needs.

A flood can take away a home in a matter of hours. For flood affected families, recovery can take much longer.
