As of August 19, 2015, DM/H2M for the flood relief activities have provided basic supplies to more than 750 flood affected families of the following villages: Wangoo, Pangaltabi, Leishangthem Khong Manung, Komnao, Wabagai Tera Pishak, Uchiwa, Tangjeng, Sekmainin.
Presently, DM/H2M are focused on the pond restoration activities, primarily concerning clean and potable water in order to restrict mass spread of water borne diseases, which are very common after floods. This is also one of the key areas of WASH activities recommended in Joint Assessment Analysis (JNA) report prepared by Sphere India in association with several NGO groups. So far, DM/H2M volunteers have treated over 17 local community ponds located at Kakching, Keirak and Thoubal Leishangthem. In the next two weeks, the team will undergo restoration of community ponds at Tentha, Wangoo and many other flood affected villages. As part of this project 100 water filtration units will also be provided at flood relief camps and to all families of a small village where 100% of the population was affected by flood.
