Public health and hygiene will be improved by installing or repairing 15 deep tube wells, constructing 15 hygienic latrines, and repairing 50 community washrooms. Additionally, 5,000 families will receive hygiene kits, while 15 mobile medical camps will provide essential healthcare and psychosocial support to 3,150 individuals. To ensure uninterrupted education, 5,000 students will receive learning materials, and 12 schools will be rehabilitated, creating a safe learning environment. Female students will benefit from 20 Girls’ Corners, which will provide access to menstrual hygiene products and awareness sessions. A certified emergency response team, trained in collaboration with the Fire Brigade, will enhance local capacity to mitigate future disasters. By integrating economic recovery, improved healthcare, and disaster preparedness, this initiative fosters long-term resilience, equipping communities with the infrastructure, skills, and resources to withstand future crises effectively
