Boats and 4x4 convoys delivered the first aid to reach three valleys since the roads were washed away last week.
The work described here was carried out by our in-country team alongside partners who live in the communities they serve, which is what allows us to move quickly and keep costs low.
Distribution lists were drawn up with community leaders and cross-checked by our staff, prioritising widow-headed households, orphaned children, elderly people living alone and families with no earning member. Every item handed over is signed for on receipt.
The immediate result is measurable — food in the house, water within walking distance, a roof that holds through the season. The longer-term result is a household that is no longer one bad month away from crisis.
This campaign remains open. Funds raised from here are directed to the next phase of the response, and we will publish a further update as distributions continue.
