ADRA India is pleased to announce the signing of a Letter of Intent (LOI) with Reckitt to implement D***x The Birds and Bees Talk (TBBT) Programme across Government Schools in Delhi, including schools under the New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC).

The LOI was formally exchanged between Mr Santhosh S P, Country Director, ADRA India, and Mr Gaurav Jain, Executive Vice President, South Asia, Reckitt, in the presence of Prof. Ravi Bhatnagar, Director, Corporate Communications & Corporate Affairs (South Asia, MENARP & Africa), Reckitt. The LOI signing was also attended by Mr Imran Majid, Program Director, ADRA India.

Through this partnership, ADRA India and Reckitt will work together to equip adolescents with age-appropriate knowledge, essential life skills, and the confidence to make informed decisions by fostering greater Awareness, Consent, Protection, Inclusion and Equity. Together, we aim to create safe, healthy and supportive school environments that empower every young person to navigate the future with confidence and respect for themselves and others.

Every adolescent deserves the opportunity to grow with knowledge, dignity, and confidence. By working alongside Reckitt, government stakeholders, educators, and communities, we look forward to creating a lasting impact in the lives of young people and contributing to healthier, more resilient communities.

Nearly 10 days after the Assam floods, families in Sivasagar District, Assam, are still living surrounded by water. Homes remain submerged, hand pumps and toilets are unusable, and safe drinking water is scarce.

For many, the loss goes beyond damaged houses. Crops have been destroyed, livestock lost, food stocks washed away, and children's books and important documents ruined. Families are sheltering under tarpaulins, often sharing limited space with multiple generations, while uncertainty about the weeks ahead continues to grow.

A rapid needs assessment highlights urgent priorities:
• Safe drinking water and sanitation support
• Emergency shelter and household essentials
• Food assistance
• Livelihood and agricultural recovery
• Livestock support
• Protection and psychosocial support for affected families

Recovery will not end when the floodwaters disappear. Communities will need sustained support to rebuild their homes, restore their livelihoods, and regain a sense of normalcy.

Your contribution can provide families with clean drinking water, emergency relief supplies, shelter materials, and the support they need to begin rebuilding their lives. Every donation brings hope to those facing the long road to recovery.

Last year, she lost her husband.
This year, she almost lost her daughter in the Assam floods.

When floodwaters rushed into their village, Mamoni Chitradhar’s only thought was saving her daughters. She grabbed her two daughters and ran. Neither of them could swim.

In the struggle, her younger daughter slipped beneath the water and stopped breathing. Villagers managed to revive her.

Her daughters survived.
But they lost everything else.

The sewing machine that fed the family is gone. Their fields are buried beneath sand. The scooter that was given to her daughter for her hard work at school is gone. Their home is filled with mud.

“I just sit the whole night thinking,” she said. “How will I educate my daughters? How will we rebuild this house?”

No mother should have to carry these questions alone.

Help families like Mamoni’s rebuild their lives. Your contribution to ADRA goes directly to the people affected by the floods.

*For the first time in decades, devastating floods have swept across parts of Upper Assam.*

Since 19 July, exceptionally heavy rainfall in the Nagaland hills has sent torrents of water into districts like Charaideo and Sivasagar that rarely experience flooding. Families had little warning and even less time to save their homes, belongings and livelihoods.

Today:
• 6.5 lakh+ people are affected
• 810 villages are under water
• 66 lives have been lost

ADRA India teams are on the ground, working to provide safe drinking water, emergency shelter and food to families who need it most.

Here’s what your support can provide:
₹1,600 – A hygiene kit for one family
₹5,000 – An emergency shelter kit
₹4,000 – Dry rations for one family

*Donate as you are able.* Every contribution, no matter the amount, helps families access life-saving relief and begin their journey towards recovery.

What if communities could act before floods become disasters?

That is the goal of ADRA India's Anticipatory Action pilot in Majuli, Assam, implemented with the support of the District Administration and the District Disaster Management Authority.

On 22 July, government officials, Disaster Management Volunteers, and Panchayati Raj Institution representatives came together in a co-creation workshop to define the trigger thresholds and early actions that will guide responses before flood impacts escalate.

These locally developed protocols will be tested during the current monsoon season, demonstrating how timely action can help protect lives, livelihoods, and development gains before disaster strikes.

Anticipatory Action is about moving from reacting to disasters to preparing for them, when every hour can make a difference.

Can drinking hot chai really cool your body during a heatwave?

Many of us have grown up hearing advice like this. Others believe carrying an onion can prevent heatstroke or that Indians are naturally immune to extreme heat.

But what does science actually say?

In this interview, Dr Ashok Gadgil, Environmental Scientist and Professor at UC Berkeley separates common misconceptions from evidence-based facts that could help you stay safe during extreme heat.

Watch till the end and share this with someone who still believes these myths.

A bucket of still water is all a mosquito needs.

During the monsoon, rainwater collects in buckets, coolers, tyres, flower pots and other containers, creating ideal breeding grounds for mosquitoes that spread dengue and malaria.

Most of it is preventable with a few simple weekly habits:

- Empty and scrub water containers once a week.

- Cover all stored water.

- Clear or store anything outdoors that can collect rainwater, including tyres and broken pots.

- Sleep under a mosquito net and use repellent, especially at dawn and dusk.

If you or a family member develops a fever with chills, body ache or severe headache, seek medical care early and get tested. Don’t wait for symptoms to worsen.

Small actions, repeated every week, can help protect your family and your community this monsoon.

As temperatures continue to rise, building heat-resilient schools is becoming increasingly important.

Under the Integrated Climate Risk Management in India (InCRIS) project, a Heat Smart School Pilot has been established at Sarvodaya Bal Vidyalaya, Shalimar Bagh, demonstrating practical solutions to help schools adapt to rising heat.

InCRIS is an Indo-German technical cooperation project jointly implemented by GIZ and NDMA, Ministry of Home Affairs, Government of India, with ADRA India serving as the national implementation support partner.

We were honoured to welcome Dr. Krishna S. Vatsa, Member & Head of Department, National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA), India, to inaugurate the pilot.

The model showcases simple, replicable interventions such as cool roofs, shaded spaces, safe drinking water facilities, and heat safety awareness to reduce heat risks and create safer learning environments for children.

During the visit, Dr. Vatsa underscored the importance of affordable, practical, and scalable solutions that can strengthen climate resilience in schools across the country. The initiative reflects the power of collaboration between government institutions and development partners in advancing disaster risk reduction and heatwave preparedness.

We are thankful to the District Magistrate office and acknowledge the support of the school and its staff, and Ms. Meghana Kshirsagar and GIZ team in making this model a demonstrable reality.

Together, we can create safer, more climate-resilient schools where every child can learn and thrive.

When malaria is detected early, it can be treated before it becomes life-threatening.

Between April and June 2026, the Integrated Malaria Elimination Programme (IMEP III) reached 460 villages across four high-burden districts in Mizoram, conducting 4,954 Rapid Diagnostic Tests to identify infections early and connect people with timely care.

The outcome was encouraging: 537 confirmed malaria cases were detected, and every single patient received treatment.

These numbers reflect more than tests conducted. They represent families who received care when they needed it most and communities taking another step towards a healthier future.

As we continue strengthening surveillance and response in some of the most vulnerable areas, every test and every treatment brings us closer to a malaria-free Mizoram.

The initiative is being implemented in close partnership with the Global Fund, the National Center for Vector Borne Diseases Control (NCVBDC) – Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, the National Health Mission (NHM) – State Program Office, Mizoram, and ADRA India.
