ACT Appeal

India/Andhra Pradesh - ASIN53

Assistance to Cyclone Affected

Geneva, 30 September 2005

Appeal Target: US$ 467,312

Cyclone Pyaar is the first cyclone of the 2005 monsoon season to have hit the Andhra Pradesh on India's west coast on Tuesday, 20 September 2005. At least 83 people are reported to have died. Hundreds more people remain missing. Property has been severely damaged, as has the communications network, as heavy rains battered most parts of the state. The unprecedented rains, have paralysed normal life completely and has damaged thousands of acres of crops. Homes and fields are covered with sand and have affected the normal livelihood activities. The situation is now slowly improving and in certain areas families are leaving the relief camps to restart their lives.

The ACT members in India – Church’s Auxiliary for Social Action (CASA), the Lutheran World Service India (LWSI) and), United Evangelical Lutheran Churches in India (UELCI) have been in contact with each other co-ordinating their responses. This appeal includes the proposals from CASA and UELCI. LWSI will support UELCI and CASA where needed, but will not implement its own programme.

ACT member CASA will focus on relief response in the form of distribution of food and non food items. ACT member UELCI, through its member church Andhra Evangelical Lutheran Church (AELC) and local member Integrated Rural Development of Weaker Sections of India (IRDWSI), will distribute food and non food items as well as provide food for work and agricultural inputs.
