Why do some parents hesitate to vaccinate their children? Rumours and fears about side effects can make families uncertain.
“I slipped twice, but somehow I managed to collect enough grass. I learned that drying it before feeding it helps protect my cattle from disease.”
For Birod Daimary of Gohaivitta, a training through ADRA’s PRECISE project turned a routine task into a lesson in better cattle care
Who is responsible for a community’s health?
The doctor? The health worker? The government?
The answer is more complicated.
Each person reaches people in a different way. A teacher may influence a child and their family. A local leader may mobilise a neighbourhood. A doctor may help address concerns. Combined, these roles show how community members can connect families with the support available.
As families begin rebuilding their lives after the floods in Assam, parents are often busy restoring homes and livelihoods. Our newly inaugurated Child-Friendly Spaces (CFS) give children a clean, safe and supervised place to spend their time while their parents focus on recovery
With trained supervisors, clean toilets and handwashing facilities, safe drinking water, and plenty of opportunities for outdoor games and activities, these spaces put children's safety and well-being at the heart of the recovery.
Thank you @tdh_org for partnering with us!
The devastating floods have left communities across Nepal facing the loss of homes, livelihoods and access to basic necessities. Search and rescue efforts continue as communities begin to assess the full extent of the damage.
At this difficult time, ADRA stands in solidarity with the people and families of Nepal. We stand with the communities affected, the responders working on the ground, and everyone coming together to support those in need.
Our thoughts are with all those impacted by the floods and landslides, and with the communities facing the difficult days ahead.
Stand with families in Nepal.

When the floods came, they took almost everything.
Rimpi watched the water carry away her goats, her weaving materials, her daughters’ books and clothes, and even the bicycle they used to get to school.
With support from the Assam Flood Emergency Response, the family was able to replace essential items, including a bicycle for Rimpi’s daughters.
Now, every morning, the two sisters share it on their way to school, just as they did before the floods.
A bicycle may not seem like much after a disaster.
But for Rimpi’s family, it means her daughters can keep showing up for school, keep learning, and keep moving forward.
Sometimes, rebuilding a life begins with simply finding a way back to the road.

Communities in Anantnag and Baramulla are better prepared to act when disaster strikes.
With @AktionHilftdeus, ADRA India brought together volunteers, @KashmirSdrf and @HwvoK for hands-on training in CPR, Basic Life Support, Search & Rescue, CBDRR and Anticipatory Action
Strengthening local capacity and connections with government systems helps communities act faster when every minute counts.

Humanitarian work is about showing up for people when they need support most.
Today, on World Humanitarian Day, we join the call to #ActForHumanity and stand with the people and communities at the heart of humanitarian action.
