about us

Madhubani district is located in the northern most part of the state of Bihar bordering Nepal. Madhubani is among the most flood affected area in the state of Bihar and has trend of having flood in every two years and massive flood in every 10 years interval.

In these flood prone areas where poverty is seen in its worst form, with accompanying hazards and unsafe conditions, the well-being and growth of communities becomes a serious challenge which in the long run have a bearing on the household economic condition of these communities. The land pattern of the area is declining in nature making most of the land to be low lying. During monsoon rivers get filled with water and starts flowing through sides causing floods. Many river flows through the district, main rivers are Kamla , Kareh, Balan, Bhutahi Balan, Gehuan, Supen, Trishula, Jeevachh, Koshi and Adhwara Group. Floods are the most common and frequent, since Madhubani is bounded on the north by a hilly region of Nepal which increases the vulnerability of Madhubani as the water from the hills runs down to the low lying areas. The District also falls under Earthquake Zone 5 (HIGH RISK).

In the operation area, agriculture is the main source of livelihoods for the people who are mostly small farmers. Besides agriculture some are also involved in animal husbandry, share cropping and also work as daily wage earners. We reach out to the vulnerable communities like Scheduled Caste, Divyang, Women, Old aged person and they are our main beneficiaries.
