Cianjur Indonesia Earthquake Relief Updates
On November 21, 2022, an earthquake measuring 5.6 struck the county of Cianjur in Java, Indonesia. Because the epicenter of the quake was right under the city, the property damage was extensive. 404 people lost their lives in the quake and more than 1000 were injured. 20,000 houses were completely destroyed or rendered uninhabitable. Working with a local governmental leader, Connecting Families was able to provide immediate food, medicine, and clothing relief supplies. From mid-Deember 2022 until the present, Connecting Families is providing temporary tent housing for displaced families. Each tent house cost 200 USD and provides shelter until houses can start to be rebuilt in mid-2023, with the help of Indonesian government funding. Until then, families have looked solely to Connecting Families for help with their interim housing.
Present Needs
Connecting Families has already provided 61 temporary tent houses for families affected by the quake.
We are being asked to provide an additional 10 tent houses at a cost of 200 USD each which covers materials and labor.
