In July, we finished the distribution of all 235 kits we had prepared.<br \/>\n\u3000<br \/>\nMs Vidya, lives in Kannaginagar village, Pavakodichenai with her parents and brother, is one of the home owners who received the kit. Until the January flood, they managed to earn their living by selling crops and milk from their livestock, but after the flood, they had to evacuate their home and fled to the school nearby. Not only that they couldn't return home for 20 days, but also they lost 4 cows out of 6, and their field went wasted. After a while, they came back home and built a shelter but it wasn't durable enough for heavy rain and flood. It was just when they were quite at a loss for losing the livelihood that they received the shelter kit from Habitat. Ms. Vidya (left photo) says \"I was so thankful!\".<br \/>\n\u3000<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/habitatjp.org\/enblog\/shelterkits_20110716%286%29_2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"shelterkits_20110716(6)_2.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/habitatjp.org\/enblog\/assets_c\/2011\/10\/shelterkits_20110716%286%29_2-thumb-170x132-2393.jpg\" width=\"170\" height=\"132\" class=\"mt-image-left\" style=\"float: left; margin: 07px 20px 20px 0;\" \/><\/a>Habitat Japan has been giving supports to around 1,000 people by the flood relief project and will terminate our activities at the end-of July since the area is getting thorough the worst situation.
