Flood Relief

Workers from the Jadan Ashram are uniquely placed to help with the distribution of relief aid to victims of flood in India. Using trucks from the Ashram plus local knowledge, they are able to quickly respond to crisis, which has been all too frequent in the early years of this millenium.

 

 

Fire Fighting

The Jadan Ashram fire-truck is available for fire fighting 24 hour a day. In the peak season for fires temperatures are 48-50 degrees centigrade and the winds are strong and dry. During this time the Ashram fire brigade is called on 2-3 times a day and in the 2002 season they answered over 60 calls for help. A dual use of the fire-truck is to transport water to the drought stricken remote villages. In May-June 2002 18,000 litres of water per day was distributed.
