Target : US$ 45,000

Organisation: ACDS – Association for Community Development Services, is a community based non-profit voluntary organisation, working for better women and childhood. ACDS works in motto of making child labour free villages and realized in many from 1997. It is registered under the Tamil Nadu Charitable Societies Act and also exempted from income tax act under section 80-G. ACDS is also registered under the Foreign Contribution Regulation Act we are working in 46 rural villages since 1995.

Event: The Tsunamis resulting from the quakes have caused widespread damage in the Indian states of Tamilnadu and other seashore states.

Community: Fishermen communities living in the seashore area are the worst hit community. These villages are barely above the sea level, had no place to escape to. The villages mostly comprised thatch huts. Many of the houses have been washed out, displacing survivors, though information about them will take days to come in.

Current Status: There have been over 12000 casualities in Tamilnadu. Over 9000 deaths are reported, with another 3000 missing. At the 13 villages where we undertake relief efforts about 92 people are died 150 are hospitalized 19 of them are reported missing nearly 2000 people are in public camp. Among the 2000 people 800 of them are fishermen community who really lost their livelihood.

ACDS’s Relief work:

ACDS has launched relief operations in coastal area. We are currently operating a relief camp for evacuees who have been brought to public places such as government schools, marriage halls, temples, churches and mosques. We also provided temporary sheds. It is expected that the camps will house 2000 people. Facilities including food, water and cloths are arranged. We also plan to extend the camp to other neighbour villages.

Proposed Relief works:

After the initial shock and chaos, we are now quite well organized to handle to relief efforts. A number of volunteers have started to support us in working together to handle the relief work.

The relief work is planned in 3 phases.

1. Immediate Relief – Food, clothing, blankets, temporary shelter, medicines and health camps for emergencies and epidemics.

2. Second level relief – construction of huts and repair works for the families affected keeping transportation facility realily available for any emergencies to shift people of to hospitals.

3. Third level Relief – Livelihood needs for the families affected, forming cooperatives and mobilize livelihood supports like boats, nets etc, preferably from the government resources.
