The reconstruction of the flood affected areas is in progress, with a £30 Million, 2 year plan to rebuild 60 villages in six different districts. Islamic Relief has completed 6 villages with a further 15 currently under construction.
More than 700 houses have been rebuilt and almost 5,000 people have benfited from the newly available clean water.
Islamic Relief has also provided:
- 52 Water Wells, Hand Pumps and Electric Pumps
- Health Facilities for 134,000 people
- 15,000 ft of drainage
- Agriculture Tool Kits to 10,000 people
Each village is rebuilt with an integrated approach to ensure all the needs of the village are met and will include:
Shelter
Construction of flood and earthquake resistant housing for approximately 200 families, which is appropriate for the climate as well as in accordance with cultural preferences. The shelter is constructed using locally purchased materials and a local workforce, to further assist the local economy.
Cost: £1,500 – each family
Water
A complete water system consisting of flood resistant borehole wells, which are dug deep enough to prevent contamination from any possible future floods. The wells will then supply fresh drinking water to each household of the village through underground piping. Additionally, a comprehensive drainage system will be constructed to make the village less susceptible to flooding.
Cost: £340 – each family
Agriculture
Assistance for farmers to re-cultivate their lands with the provision of essential tools, seeds and livestock. Non-farming families will be provided with seeds and training to establish their own gardens of essential crops.
Cost: £110 – each family
Education
The provision of education to ensure that all children continue to learn through the reconstruction of a school as well as through the creation of a child friendly space in the village.
Cost: £150 – each family
Health
The provision of primary health care for all villagers through the establishment of a health clinic, which will also benefit surrounding villages, as well as through home visits from fully trained medical staff.
Cost: £240 - each family
Household Items
Supporting each family with essential living items such as kitchen items (pots, pans plates and glasses), mattresses, mosquito nets, plastic sheeting, sun shelters, cleaning materials and jerry cans for water.
