In November 2025, Cyclone Senyar brought heavy rain that set off floods and landslides across North Sumatra. Homes filled with mud, roads were cut, and people's water sources were contaminated. For the families caught up in it, safe drinking water was suddenly hard to find.
Nine treatment units for the community
Our team headed straight to the affected areas. We set up nine water treatment units in places people could easily reach, such as shelters and public buildings, and handed out the treated water directly.
Along with the water, we gave out containers so every family could carry clean water home, and hygiene kits to cut the risk of disease.
In numbers
- 9 water treatment units
- nearly 620,000 litres of safe water
- more than 11,200 people served
- 1,100 water containers and 1,000 hygiene kits distributed
Ready for the next one
We can't know when the next disaster will come, but we can be ready for it. Gifts to Disaster Response keep treatment units, containers and hygiene kits ready to go the moment they are needed.
