Appeal Target: US$ 10,507,088

Please find herewith a new 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami-related appeal for a fourteen month programme (November 2007 to December 2008) to construct disaster-resistant housing for 1,380 tsunami-affected dalit households which have been previously neglected or excluded from assistance, implemented by ACT member Churches Auxiliary for Social Action (CASA), India.

Please note that this appeal is being issued alongside the on-going implementation of ACT Appeal ASRE51, closing by 31 December 2007, from which a balance of CASA allocated funds will be requested by the ACT Coordinating Office for transfer to this new appeal. Please refer to the fourth revision of CASA’s programme within the ASRE51 appeal for further details.

In addition, please note that ACT members Lutheran World Service (LWS), India, have provided an indication that they may also request a revision of ASIN 73 at a later date to include further projects with the  same overall goal as for the CASA programme.
