Small and farming businesses and home industries have been badly hit, with huge losses in property and investment. The people in Cyclone-affected areas need more than immediate material support and financial assistance. They need long-term comprehensive support to put their lives back together.
This project aims to focus .. Households including 10 of our cancer patients, supported by Kidzcan in terms of bus fare and supply of chemotherapy drugs. The area has been severely devastated by the floods and if long-term development plan to empower the community to serve its own needs is implemented it would bring the situation to a bearable state.

It will enhance better hygiene and prevention of disease as they will have safe water supply... It will also help to ensure a cleaner and greener community which is eco-friendly and energy self -sufficient
