Himalay Unnati Mission, along with the support of 1000+ volunteers, worked relentlessly to provide instant aid to affected families during the recent floods and landslides in Himachal Pradesh, Sikkim and North Bengal. The support went beyond the provision of immediate relief to the badly affected victims of these regions. Our volunteers provided eco-friendly solutions to help rebuild the affected regions. A series of post trauma relief sessions were also initiated by HUM volunteers to help the victims resurface from their traumatic experiences.

The International Association for Human Values (IAHV), in partnership with the Art of Living Foundation (AOLF) established a disaster relief fund to provide humanitarian assistance to the victims of the floods in Uttarakhand. Art of Living volunteers were on the ground providing emergency relief including food, medicine and trauma relief to the victims of the disaster and continue to work towards rehabilitation of the victims suffering from the disaster in Uttarakhand.

Emergency Response Task Force Training (ERFT)

We conducted an ERFT to create a dedicated task force that has been trained to quickly handle emergency situations during times of disaster.

In the wake of the global pandemic COVID-19, daily wage workers have taken the hardest economic hit. In order to ensure these people do not go hungry, the International Association for Human Values (IAHV) along with the Art of Living started a nation-wide initiative on 22 March 2020to provide the food and essentials needed to this marginalised segment of the population.
