22.01.2022 On behalf of Cairns Indian Association , I would like to thank all our generous donors for your invaluable contribution towards the fund raising campaign for the Cyclone Amphan affected people of West Bengal in India. Due to all your contributions , we have achieved our target goal of AUD$10,000 in just 3 days which is really amazing . This fund will go a long way to help the poor people who will now be able to have a roof top over their houses before the monsoon rains hit... India soon. We are now closing the campaign as we have reached our target fund for donation. Cairns Indian Association would like to thank all our members for their kindness and we hope to be able to be a responsible and socially committed organization to help more people in the near future.

21.01.2022 gf.me/u/x5qnqs Dear CIA Members and Friends, Millions of people in the State of West Bengal and Orissa are facing increased threat to hunger, poverty, homelessness and vulnerability due to Category 5 Cyclone Amphan that has hit and devastated the coastal regions of these two states on the 20th May 2020... Families and people that are already facing multiple concurrent crises with the onset of COVID 19 are now suffering from being hit by Cyclone Amphan. Amphan has had devastating affects to humans and the environment. And as we speak, there are thousands dying of hunger, poverty, homelessness and disease. Cairns Indian Association has mustered the courage and support to work on a humble project called Build Back Better in conjunction with Cairns Bongo Group and Mukti Foundation to re-build 50 roofs for houses in the region for families to return to and live. The aim of the project is to build 50 roofs in this region for families who are currently sheltering in schools and other shelters in dangerously crowded and unhygienic spaces risking fast spread of COVID. Having a roof has become even more imperative, as in a month the Sunderbans will face the start of the monsoon season followed by tidal surges, storms and heavy rainfall, thus further deteriorating an already impoverished people. Hence the immediate and urgent need to re-build houses. The total cost of this project is 5 Lakhs Indian Rupees, which brings it to Rs. 10,000 per household. The money raised will go to the fiscal branch of a Women’s Group of Mukti Community Development Fund. This Fund will distribute Rs 10,000 as a loan to 50 households at no interest. Beneficiaries of loans are expected to pay back a certain amount every month that goes back into the Fund pool that will further fund sustainable disbursal of future livelihood loans to these women’s groups. Friends, we can achieve this together! Collective Strength and Support is the only way forward and upward. Your kind support will build stronger and more resilient communities.

20.01.2022 May the glory of Independence Day be with us forever. Here's wishing you a very happy Independence Day!
