People First is able to work directly with local people and genuine grass roots organisations and provide them with the assistance they need. We need urgently to install deep water handpumps, provide new livestock,help repair damaged houses,and help expand preventative health care programmes. Blankets and medicines are still needed.
Activities
People First a local organisation is uniquely placed to ensure aid and assistance actually reaches those who are in the greatest need. The priorities are clean water, preventative health care, housing and an opportunity for victims to earn an income

Why this Project is Important
Potential Long Term Impact
Of course this is primarily an humanitarian appeal. But through education about new organic farming methods and the constructive involvement of committed local organisations a framework can be built for positive and lasting change
Project Message
Only through building trust through transparency and honesty can communities be truly helped to better their circumstances. They have been let down, to many times by to many people. This has to change

Latest Update from the Field
THE LATEST FLOOD SITUATION
By Nick Hansen - Director, August 28, 2009 03:31 PM
Three deaths were reported in Darbhanga, two in Muzaffarpur and one each in Sitamarhi and Supaul since last evening.
Darbhanga alone claimed the maximum 10 deaths followed by Muzaffarpur (six) two each in Purnia, Kishanganj, Sitamarhi and one in Supaul, an official at the state disaster management cell said today.
Around one million people of 11 districts -- Darbhanga, West Champaran, Gopalganj, Sitamarhi, Muzaffarpur, Saharsa, Supaul, Madehpura, Katihar, Araria and Purnia -- have been affected due to the floods.
According to a report from Darbhanga, over 100 villages spread over 13 blocks in Darbhanga were reeling under swirling waters.
Chief Minister Nitish Kumar is likely to undertake an aerial survey of the flood-hit areas tomorrow.
