A month has passed since the flash flood and landslide that was caused by Cyclone Seroja hit the East Nusa Tenggara Province, which has also hit the Lembata District. After undergoing an emergency phase, the Lembata district has now entered the recovery phase, as announced by the local government in late April.
Following this, Yayasan Plan International Indonesia (Plan Indonesia), a humanitarian organisation that has been working in Lembata since 2006 with approximately 10 thousand sponsored children in the region, joins the effort of recovery. Especially, the focus is on providing recovery support to sponsored children and their families who are most impacted by the disaster.
