Directly from the ground

I'm writing this from Chintamoni village. It has been more than a month since the flood came and there are still places here where it has not receded.

In the first phase, our team worked on the ground with 36 NGO partners to distribute 23,617 relief kits, reaching over 7,500 families. WASH, food, water, tarpaulins — whatever the community needed, we delivered.

In phase two we launched Mur Ghor — my home, in Assamese. The people I am meeting have not only lost belongings. Many have lost the entire house. Our aim is to give those houses back, rebuilt alongside them with their effort.

What I have seen here is resilience. Communities helping communities. People arriving from across India to do what they can, and people in Assam receiving them with real warmth. What a community needs most is someone willing to listen, and one reason to hope.

Team Donatekart stands with the people of Assam, and we will see this through. Thank you for restoring faith in what a community can do for itself.

ধন্যবাদ, Dhonnobad.

Bhor · the very beginning of daylight

A simple bucket becomes a water tank

Photos from disaster sites speak volumes about the sheer resilience in a community. Empty grain sacks become flood barriers. Bhor is our series of impact stories about resilience, strength, and community holding up community.

When the water came to Nepali Kuthi, families ran with what they were wearing and watched everything they owned wash away. For thirty days, home was a tent on the roadside.

Last week, one family walked into four bamboo walls and a roof that belonged to them. Which is why we call this project Mur Ghor — my home.

Not a shelter. Not a unit. Not a house we built. Theirs.

What one kit changes in one home

Nobanita Phukon from Chala Pather, Charaideo · Tarpaulin
ज़िदZidd
The floods took away my books. But the tarpaulin is helping me keep the remaining dry.

The floods washed away the books and notes she had prepared for her Class 8 exams. The few notes Nobanita saved are tucked under a tarpaulin, safe from the rain. Her father, a farmer, has no way to earn while their fields stay submerged. That one tarpaulin is holding up a future she refuses to let the flood decide.

The mosquito net helped my daughters sleep peacefully after many sleepless nights.

Hori lives near the river. His home was ringed by water contaminated by overflowing toilets, a breeding ground for mosquitoes. His daughters could not sleep and he feared dengue. The mosquito net from the relief kit gave the family the protection they had been losing nights over.

I stayed with my husband as the floodwaters entered our home. He's paralysed. Where would he run?

Amid the heartbreak of the Assam floods, we also found a love story. Jayanti refused to leave her paralysed husband's side even as the house filled with water. They stayed like that for days on a soaking bed. Just as they were losing hope, relief arrived. That mattress, to this couple, was a blessing.

The rice in the relief kit was like God's blessing for my mother who is unwell.

Hemanta's mother has a tumour and is awaiting an operation, with doctors watching her diet closely. When the floods washed away their supplies, even the next meal became a struggle and Hemanta went door to door asking for food so she could eat. Then a relief kit arrived with rice — one less thing to fear.

All we want is to help

A group of workers came from Nagaland. “Three days,” they said, “and we will not charge you anything — we saw what happened here, and this is our way of giving.” They laid the foundations for fifteen homes and went home.

Hriday

My house can wait, theirs cannot

One man we met had lost his own house to the water. He was building homes for four other families and had not yet begun his own. Under Mur Ghor, every family works on their own house alongside the team — nobody here is only receiving.
