Assistance to Flood Victims EUCS-21 (Revision 1) Appeal Target: US$ 2,617,236 Balance Requested from ACT Network: US$ 1,620,561
Geneva, 18 September 2002
Dear Colleagues,
The Czech Republic continues to struggle against the aftermath of the devastating floods that have been affecting the region for weeks, leaving deep scars on the country’s infrastructure. The affected population of Czech Republic is slowly recovering while continuing joint endeavours to accommodate the homeless and serve the most vulnerable categories of population.
Through this revision of EUCS-21 Appeal, the joint ACT operation in Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary will gain additional support from ACT members The Evangelical Church of Czech Brethren (ECCB) and the Czechoslovak Hussite Church (CCSH). They have been actively responding to the emergency from the beginning and are now seeking additional financial support to undertake the following humanitarian projects:
• Drying and cleaning of private homes • Psycho-social assistance • Food and non-food distribution • Temporary shelter and reconstruction
For the sake of brevity, this revision includes only the proposals by ECCB and CCSH. For program information of other ACT members involved in the counter-flood program, please refer to the original ACT appeal EUCS-21.
ACT is a worldwide network of churches and related agencies meeting human need through coordinated emergency response. The ACT Coordinating Office is based with the World Council of Churches (WCC) and the Lutheran World Federation (LWF) in Switzerland.
