MANIPUR CRISIS | LIVELIHOOD SUPPORT
The humanitarian crisis in Manipur, which began on 3rd May 2023 and continues to affect the region, has resulted in over 20,000 individuals fleeing for their lives. This crisis has not only caused immense human suffering but has also led to the collapse of the local economy, leaving many internally displaced persons (IDPs) in urgent need of support for livelihood restoration.
The IDPs in Manipur are facing numerous challenges as a result of the crisis. These challenges include lack of access to basic necessities such as food, shelter, and healthcare, loss of livelihoods and income sources, psychological trauma due to displacement and violence, and uncertainty about their future and prospects for returning to normalcy.
Livelihood restoration support is crucial for the IDPs in Manipur to help them rebuild their lives and communities. By providing assistance in restoring livelihoods, such as through skills training, job opportunities, farming, animal husbandry, and access to markets, the IDPs can regain economic stability and self-sufficiency. This support not only addresses immediate needs but also contributes to long-term resilience and recovery efforts.
Community Development Society (CDS) plays a vital role in addressing the needs of the victims of the ethnic crisis in Manipur. CDS is actively involved in providing humanitarian assistance, including livelihood restoration support, to help IDPs rebuild their lives. The organization’s efforts are aimed at empowering the affected communities, promoting sustainable development initiatives, and fostering resilience among the displaced population.
In light of the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Manipur and the urgent need for livelihood restoration support for IDPs, organizations like CDS are calling upon individuals and donors to contribute towards these efforts. Every contribution, no matter how small, can make a significant difference in helping the displaced population recover from the crisis and rebuild their lives.
