Balance Requested from ACT Alliance: US$ 430,958

A new wave of incessant rains in the whole of Assam and its catchment areas in neighbouring states started on 6 October triggering a third wave of floods that have increased the plight of the population.

ACT member Church’s Auxiliary for Social Action (CASA) and the Lutheran World Service India (LWSI) are proposing to revise this appeal in order to accommodate the assistance to the new affected population.

Church’s Auxiliary for Social Action (CASA) is proposing to expand the coverage from 25,000 families to 33,000 families in the crisis phase providing food, clothing, blankets and utensils sets. This revision includes only the additional assistance that will be provided.

Lutheran World Service India (LWSI) is proposing to include a further 2,000 families to the 10,000 they are already assisting under the crisis phase of the project and to expand the crisis phase response from 3 to 6 months. As some adjustments to the rehabilitation activities and the completion date have been also included, this revision will replace the original appeal and the first revision.

Project Completion Date:

CASA - 18 July 2005

LWSI - 31 December 2005

NB: An additional amount of US$ 3,000 has been added for ACT co-ordination/communication.
