# River valley flood appeal

> Shelter, clean water, and food for families who lost their homes when the river burst its banks.

- Goal: $180,000
- Raised: $112,460 (62 %)
- Donors: 2,140
- Time left: 400 days left

In mid-October the river that runs through the valley rose faster than anyone there had seen. Six villages were flooded within a day, and around 3,000 people left their homes with what they could carry.

## What we are doing

We work through a local partner that has run the valley's community centre for years. In the first week we delivered hygiene kits, drinking water, and blankets to two shelters. Since then we have put up family tents on higher ground and started a twice-weekly food round.

## When the appeal closes

The appeal runs until the date on this page. Anything raised after the emergency phase pays for repairs and school kits in the same villages, and we publish a full account of the spending.

## How your gift helps

- $30: a hygiene kit for one family
- $75: a family food parcel for a week
- $150: an emergency shelter kit
