Project Needs and Beneficiaries
India is one of the countries most prone to disasters, both man-made and natural. However, it lacks a centralized disaster-mitigation effort. Moreover, schemes to deal with disasters often are not productive and do not take local perspectives into account.

Activities
Is providing a) livelihood relief, b) shelter repairing support, c) local capacity building, d) school safety initiative, e) micro credit support & f) micro insurance. AIDMI does these activities through coordination with govt. dept., & local CBOs.

Why this Project is Important
Potential Long Term Impact
Schools and shelters would become safer against disasters. Microcredit activity will help accelerate the recovery of self-employed women and micro insurance activity will protect the beneficiaries or cover their risks in case of future disasters.
Project Message
Mainstreaming mitigation is not easy; everyone loves immediate relief. But in the long run, mitigation is worth it.
