News & Events - After the Floods: Helping 750 Families Meet Essential Needs in Bihar
CFI Trust Reaches 750 Flood-Affected Families in Begusarai

Essential ration and hygiene kits brought timely assistance to households across Akashpur and Rechiyahi villages in Bihar.

Returning to a flood-damaged home is only the beginning of recovery. For families affected by Bihar’s September 2026 floods, damaged crops, lost food supplies and interrupted work made it difficult to manage even basic household needs.

To help families through this period, CFI Trust distributed 750 family relief kits across Akashpur and Rechiyahi villages in Begusarai district. The completed distribution provided 750 households with food, cooking essentials and hygiene supplies.

Meeting Immediate Household Needs

Families whose livelihoods depend on farming and daily labour faced particular challenges after the floods. Crop losses and disrupted earnings reduced their ability to purchase food, while damage to homes added to the demands on already limited resources.

CFI Trust’s relief kits addressed these immediate needs. Every household received 10 kg of rice, 5 kg of atta, 2 kg of dal, 1 litre of cooking oil, 1 kg of salt and 2 kg of sugar. Together, these provisions supported the preparation of basic household meals.

Recognising that families also needed supplies for cleanliness and personal care, each kit included two 500 ml bottles of phenyl, one packet of sanitary pads and two bars of soap.

Supporting Families Through a Difficult Period

Across the two villages, the distribution helped households meet urgent needs while they faced the work of repairing homes and restoring livelihoods. Providing one complete kit to each family ensured consistent food and hygiene support for all 750 beneficiary households.

The assistance addressed an immediate concern: having essential supplies available during a period of uncertainty. It offered practical support as families began moving forward after the flooding.

CFI Trust gratefully acknowledges the partners, donors and field teams whose contributions made this response possible. Their support helped deliver essential relief to 750 families across Akashpur and Rechiyahi.
