How does this gift help?
Homes in the flood zones of India and Nepal were looking vulnerable. So we left them high and dry.

In these regions, around 180 million people are threatened by the seasonal monsoon rains. In particular people needed help on the ground – or rather, above it. Poor people have little or no ability to raise the height of their houses, and floodwaters often reach the roofs of peoples homes. As a result people and their belongings are very vulnerable.

Oxfam Unwrapped helped raise the homes – and latrines and grain stores – of 228 of the most vulnerable villagers above the flood highest flood levels. We provided advice and training as well as supporting local people to carry out the building work required.

Once the houses had been raised the villagers felt secure and less anxious about losing their homes, belongings and children. A truly ‘uplifting’ story!
