TechnipFMC In India Partners With Habitat For Humanity For Bihar Flood Response Programme



. Distribution of Humanitarian Aid Kits to 600 families in Khagaria district
. Distribution of Humanitarian Aid Kits to 500 families in Darbhanga district

TechnipFMC (NYSE and Euronext: FTI) under their flagship CSR program in India, Seed of Hope, in partnership with Habitat for Humanity India, a non-profit organization, distributed Humanitarian Aid Kits to 1100 families affected by the flood in Bihar.

In 2017, large parts of Bihar were flooded between 12th to 20th August. Heavy rains in Nepal had resulted in a sudden increase in water discharge and flash floods in several rivers – Gandak, BurhiGandak, Bagmati, Kamla, Kosi, and Mahananda. More than 1500 villages were flooded in the twelve affected districts. Darbhanga and Khagaria are two of the worst affected districts in the state with thousands of families being displaced. Even almost a year later, situation for flood-hit families is still grim and people need support to restore their lives.

To respond to the ongoing need, TechnipFMC India aims to provide Humanitarian Aid Kits to 1100 families. Each kit consists of tarpaulin sheets, nylon rope, hand tools, blankets, water filter, kitchen set, plastic mats, bucket and a hygiene kit.
