Baan Arsa Jaidee

The Thai Health Promotion Foundation, an autonomous government agency, in collaboration with civil society--ArsaDusit Volunteers, Thaiflood, and others--opened Baan Arsa Jaidee on October 14th, 2011. It has quickly proved itself an aggressive and responsive flood relief effort because it helps to coordinate dozens of existing civil society groups.

Baan Arsa Jaidee and its partners: mobilize volunteers; coordinate aid; deliver timely flood information; and deliver survival bags, food, medicine, camp toilets, life jackets and other assistance to the flood-affected communities.

The relief centre will close on 31/12/2011, as the need for immediate, emergency aid declines in many place. However, many communities remain flooded, and our partners are providing support and increasingly focusing on flood clean-up and rehabilitation. Support for partners, ThaiHealth and Arsa Dusit, is still much needed.

We will soon have an update on the final use of funds used through the Baan Arsa Jaidee coalition, and with plans for ongoing rehabilitation efforts.
