Imagine living in a tent at -25°C. With the immediate needs of the affected people taken care of, the focus is now on providing these families with adequate protection and shelter before the onset of winter. Being a high altitude, mountainous area with extreme weather conditions, once winter sets in around October, no construction activity will be possible and more families will be pushed to the edge. It’s been three weeks since the flash floods ravaged Leh, the death toll stands at more than 200 with around 400 still missing.

- SEEDS assessment team left for Leh on 10th of August. SEEDS and its volunteers were engaged with HCC (Hindustan Construction Company) to restore lives and livelihood in
Leh and neighbouring villages. Druk Padma Karpo in Shey school was desilted and classes
resumed on 16th August.
- SEEDS has set up “Safe House Clinics” that hosts mobile teams with material, structural
engineers and construction workers to carry out reconstruction of damaged houses in the
villages surrounding Leh. Families can also approach the shelter clinic for restoration of
damaged houses.

SEEDS is working with LEDeG (Ladakh Ecological Development Group) in Leh and has come up with a shelter strategy which outline our approach to reconstruction in Leh. We are working towards building a consensus between different stakeholders towards adaption of our approach as the standard. Meanwhile the SEEDS-LEDeG team in Leh continues to work towards construction of a prototype house at the LEDeG rural building center in Choglamsar. |
