August 1 began the worst flooding in 100 years for the state of Kerala, India. As monsoon rains poured down, water levels quickly rose higher each day… To release the mounting pressure building up against the dam’s walls, dams were opened. A torrent of accumulated rain water added to the unrelenting monsoon. Rivers overflowed their banks, and water rushed through fields and villages. One deluged river, the Karuvannur, engulfed 40 villages…

Within 10 days, more than 53,000 individuals found shelter in relief camps throughout the state. A week later, on August 17, the same relief camps were bursting with 300,000 displaced people…

After nearly three weeks of worsening conditions, on August 20, the monsoon rains slowed. Thirty inches of rain had fallen in a record-breaking 20 days…

GFA-supported workers serving in Kerala immediately began rescue missions and provided help and comfort to those devastated by the flooding. As news spread, GFA-supported workers across Asia collected donations and held rallies on behalf of the afflicted residents of Kerala.

Workers Rally for Relief

In northwest India, Sisters of Compassion dedicated a week to flood relief fund raising… Everyone in this area knew about the terrible flooding, and people eagerly opened their hearts and wallets to help those in southern India.

Several pastors’ families and Sisters of Compassion in north India held a rally to raise money for flood victims. As young and old walked through the streets with signs and banners, many stopped to contribute funds…

The successful rally elicited encouragement and support from the whole community; even a man driving by stopped to donate to the cause. He thanked those participating for helping flood victims in need.
