ACTION PLAN OF SAHAAYA
First Visit to G.Singavaram and Niduzuru villages - 11th October
2009
Few volunteers from Nirmaan have made one full day visit to the villages and had
talks with the villagers.
The plight of the flood victims in our volunteers words: I am weeping at the core of my heart all the day, not able to look at the
misery and suffering of so many people who lost "everything". - Mayur
After the initial visit, we have revised our plans from providing Rehabilitation
to Relief and Rehabilitation considering the grief that is lasting in the villages
even two weeks after the havoc.
See the photos taken during the field visit to these villages -

Future Actions
1. Identifying Village Heads/Community Leaders who are Impartial
2. Identifying the below povery line households with the help of the identified
heads/leaders.
3. Designing a customized solution which suits the family's livelihood within the
project's Per-Family Budget.
4. Delivering the solution to the family.
5. Providing textbooks and education kits to students and also other infastructure

For example - We will provide
1. Cattle to the families surviving on cattle.
2. Sewing machines to the families living on tailoring.
Providing Books & Stationery to Children
The children have lost their books, uniforms, stationary and even the schools are
destroyed. We will provide school kits to the children and help to the maximum extent
to make the children resume their education.
