EFICOR in partnership with partner Orissa Follow-Up provided relief to
flood affected people in Balasore District of Orissa. Heavy rains last
July flooded 500 villages in 6 blocks of Balasore.
After the need assessment EFICOR prepared to distribute relief kits to
1000 people. The relief kits were packed by volunteers from Orissa
Follow up and flood affected villages consisting of rice, dal,
groceries, salt, mat, utensils and mosquito nets.
EFICOR with partner Orissa Follow up distributed relief kits in three
blocks –Basta, Jaleswar and Baliapal covering 21 villages of seven gram
panchayats in the presence of Government officers - Emergency Relief
officer and Tehsildar.
Orissa Follow up and EFICOR were part of the State Disaster
Co-ordination Committee attending all the meetings and networked with
other government departments.
When distributing the relief materials, EFICOR took special note of the
poor and vulnerable groups such as the elderly, physically challenged
and people suffering from Leprosy.
Mr. Anadi Mahanta belongs to Hatigarah village of Jaleswar Block who has
leprosy. He had a small thatched house made up of mud and wood which
collapsed in the floods Being physically challenged, he moves around in
his cycle specially made for him. When the floods came into his house he
could not move out of the house but fortunately his neighbour came to
his rescue and moved him to an Anganwadi centre. He had to stay for few
days without food and with the only set of wet clothes he was wearing
until EFICOR provided him a relief kit consisting of rice, dal, onions,
potatoes, salt etc. He was so grateful to receive the relief materials
to survive for some days
