Activities and Outcomes
AIDMI has provided financial support for Regional Workshop on Community – Based Disaster Management organized at Colombo, Sri Lanka on July 30 and 31, 2007 in collaboration with other partner organisations. The overall objective of the workshop was to initiate an appropriate community based disaster management modality in the form of guidelines to initiate large scale disaster-development initiatives at the community level.
Livelihood Relief and Promoting the Use of Micro Finance for Long Term Recovery:
As an action learning organization, AIDMI extended its resources towards the application of disaster risk reduction by innovative initiatives and methods in the context of international humanitarian development and action. Micro Credit and Micro Insurance are two such tools, which help to reduce the disaster risk.
The micro credit program in the Cuddalore district of Tamil Nadu is another step to charge up the women enterprises and other self-help groups to initiate their livelihoods in due course. On the basis of demand, AIDMI has provided micro credit to 373 families of Tamil Nadu. This micro credit helps them to either expand their small-scale business or they can utilise it for recovery measures.
Up-Scaling the Application of School Safety Initiatives:
Besides the school safety related activities as mentioned above, AIDMI also provided infrastructure support to two schools as per their demand. One school didn’t have the drinking water facility as well as kitchen roof need to be repaired. AIDMI has provided financial support for construction of water tank and for kitchen roof. While another school had received new building but it was without any electrical fitting and the hand pump was also of no use resulting in problem of drinking water for the children. With the AIDMI support, the school got fans, tube lights and electric meter installed in the school and also provided the drinking water facility.
