For Palmyrah climbers, safety is part of every climb.

As part of the PALM-LIFE TN Project, supported by Karur Vysya Bank and implemented by ADRA India, 51 Palmyrah climbers took part in a Safety, Fire Safety and First Aid Training to strengthen their preparedness for workplace risks and emergencies.

The training covered safer climbing practices, proper use of climbing tools, hazard identification, fire prevention and basic first aid for common injuries such as cuts, burns and falls.

Through practical demonstrations and interactive sessions, participants gained the knowledge and confidence to adopt safer working practices and respond appropriately during emergencies.

ADRA India has begun tree plantation activities under the Empowering Communities through Eco-Livelihoods (ECOL) Project supported by ADRA Austria, in Ramanathapuram District, Tamil Nadu.

The first phase covers up to 100 acres across Thiruppullani, Mandapam, Kamuthi and Bogalur, with farmers and local communities playing a central role in the plantation effort.

The initiative was inaugurated at Thinaikkulam on 29 September by Thiru. M. Sivaguru Prabhakaran, IAS, District Collector, Ramanathapuram, who planted the first sapling.

We are grateful to the farmers who have participated in this initiative and made their land available for plantation. Their contribution is an important part of creating more sustainable and climate-resilient farming systems.

With a long-term target of approximately 4,600 acres involving more than 1,500 farmers, the ECOL Project aims to improve soil and environmental health while creating better and additional livelihood opportunities for farming communities over the next three to five years.

For Birod Daimary of Gohaivitta, collecting grass for his cattle is part of everyday life. But through training under ADRA India’s PRECISE project in Assam, he learned how a simple change in the way he prepares the grass could help protect the health of his cattle.

“I went to cut the grass, but the ground was soft and muddy. I slipped twice, but somehow I managed to collect enough grass,” he says with a laugh.

After bringing the grass home, Birod spread it out to dry under the sun before feeding it to his cattle.

During the training, he learned that drying grass before feeding it to cattle can help reduce the risk of disease, turning something he already does into a safer and more informed practice.

For dairy farmers, resilience can take shape in simple, practical ways. Sometimes, it starts with knowledge that can be applied right at home.

Through PRECISE, CFGB and ADRA India are equipping dairy farmers with practical knowledge and skills to support healthier livestock and stronger livelihoods in Assam.

In the aftermath of the floods in Charaideo, Assam, communities are taking the lead in restoring the places and practices that help keep their villages healthy and safe.

With support from SVOJAS POWER PRIVATE LIMITED, ADRA India worked alongside residents and Village Development Committees in three flood-affected villages: Chumoni, Abhaypuria Gaon and Chuladhora Khanikar Gaon.

Together, communities cleaned 24 locations, including schools, namghars (community prayer halls) and areas where flood debris and plastic waste had accumulated.

In Abhaypuria Gaon, a flood-damaged waste segregation plant was also restored, allowing the village to restart local waste management practices and maintain cleaner surroundings.

At the household level, 304 flood-affected families received WASH support, including chlorine tablets that can help purify up to 2,000 litres of water per family, helping reduce the risk of waterborne diseases following the floods.

The response also focused on what happens after the immediate recovery work is done. Cleaning kits were handed over to village committees so they can continue cleanliness activities, while residents volunteered beyond the organised teams to help restore their communities.

Support can help start recovery. Community ownership helps sustain it.

We are grateful to SVOJAS POWER PRIVATE LIMITED for supporting this response and helping communities take the lead in rebuilding healthier, cleaner villages.

Who is responsible for a community’s health?

The doctor? The health worker? The government?

The answer is more complicated.

In Barkhera, Uttar Pradesh, ADRA India’s BRIDGE team brought together local representatives, village council staff, a public food distribution operator, local doctors, community leaders and a school teacher for a programme orientation and training.

Each person reaches people in a different way. A teacher may influence a child and their family. A local leader may mobilise a neighbourhood. A doctor may help address questions and concerns. Together, these roles show how community members can connect families with the support available to them.

When communities have informed, engaged people working together, the message can travel further, conversations can start earlier, and families can be better supported.

Meet Ignatious Jayabalan, Program Manager at ADRA India.

With more than a decade in humanitarian response, Ignatious has worked through cyclones, floods and health emergencies, often helping teams understand what is happening on the ground and where support is needed most.

But the work is not always straightforward. Communities can be difficult to reach, information can be limited, and every crisis brings together different stakeholders with different needs and expectations.

Through it all, one thing has remained central to his work: keeping the needs and dignity of affected people at the heart of every response.

After more than a decade in the field, Ignatious describes humanitarian work as more than a profession:

“It is a way of life that demands dedication.”

For him, that dedication means being ready to listen, adapt and show up when communities need support most.

India now has 24 crore+ students enrolled and 1 crore+ teachers (UDISE+ 2024–25). Enrolment is a milestone, but retention is the mission.

Through ADRA India’s projects, we are contributing by improving school infrastructure and WASH facilities, strengthening teachers and school communities, and supporting safer, more climate-resilient learning environments.

As families begin rebuilding their lives after the floods in Assam, parents are often busy restoring homes and livelihoods. Our newly inaugurated Child-Friendly Spaces (CFS) give children a clean, safe and supervised place to spend their time while their parents focus on recovery.

With trained supervisors, clean toilets and handwashing facilities, safe drinking water, and plenty of opportunities for outdoor games and activities, these spaces put children's safety and well-being at the heart of the recovery.

And who better to open them than the children themselves?

We are grateful to Terre des hommes ( des hommes) for partnering with us to make these spaces possible and for supporting children and families as they rebuild.

More families received the support they needed because you donated.

Every contribution helped put essential supplies into the hands of families affected by the floods in Assam.

Behind every donation was someone who chose to care, to give, and to stand with a family they may never meet.

Thank you for standing with Assam. Your kindness reached families when they needed it most. ❤️
