WDC Brings Hope and Relief to 672 Flood-Affected Families in 3 Upper Assam Districts
From July to August 2026, Women Development Centre, Guwahati reached 672 flood-affected families across 10 villages in Sivasagar, Charaideo, and Jorhat districts through its Flood Emergency Response initiative. Following a needs assessment, WDC distributed essential relief supplies in two phases, including food, hygiene and dignity kits, shelter materials, clothing, bedding, household essentials, and other necessities to help families cope with the aftermath of the floods.
The response was led by Project Director Mrs. Bhagyawati Bhuyan under the guidance of Director Sr. Betsy Devasia, with the dedicated support of Sisters, staff, local teams, and volunteers.
WDC gratefully acknowledges Manos Unidas, Spain; MISEREOR; Holy Cross Sisters, Kolkata Province; WILGA, Delhi; Amazon; its staff; and all well-wishers and supporters, along with Provincial Superior Sr. Angela Narzary, for their invaluable support in making this relief mission possible. Through this timely intervention, WDC reaffirmed its commitment to standing with vulnerable communities, bringing hope, dignity, and compassionate support to families affected by floods.
Women Development Centre (WDC) is a development centre for the people in North East India for many years. The sisters felt the need to bring structural change to the present way of living especially of the women and tribals.
