Our Approach
Transitional Houses
As our first intervention, we decided to support the affected families by providing them with temporary, safe shelters. They can live in transitional houses securely as a family until permanent housing is built. These shelters may be their home for the next few years.
A Proven Model
Our partner in Macau, Fr. Jijo, identified a good model for prefabricated temporary houses. Each unit, about 300 sq ft, costs around 300,000 rupees, including tax and transportation. These houses can be made and installed within 20 days.
Securing Land for Shelter
Our team on the ground is working to secure land for these shelters. We are confident that with the support of local communities and organizations, we will succeed.
Our Experience on the Ground
The landslide on 30th July has left 400+ people dead and over 100 missing. It destroyed and made unliveable 1555 houses in three villages of Wayanad Dt of Kerala. Our team spent two days in the affected areas, witnessing the devastation directly. It was heartbreaking. The people of Wayanad call out to everyone for help, no matter where you are.
Wayanad Relief Group
We have gathered all our partners who have been part of our disaster responses over the years, from Tsunami to the Nepal Earthquake, Kerala Floods, and COVID-19. Our team met in Wayanad and others from across the globe online. We determined to respond to this tragedy in all ways possible. We also decided to work together.
Collaborating with the Government
In every disaster, we work hand-in-hand with the government. We met with the Collector and other officials to discuss our concerns, share our suggestions, and ensure our efforts align with the needs of the community.
