Emergency Flood Relief
Support the People of Luang Namtha in Rebuilding Their Lives After Devastating Floods
Thousands of families in northern Laos are in urgent need of your assistance. On September 9th, Luang Namtha province was struck by severe flash floods after Typhoon Yagi unleashed days of heavy rain. Without warning, hydropower dams released water into rivers that quickly overwhelmed entire communities. Homes, rice fields, and livelihoods were swept away in an instant, leaving families stranded without basic necessities.
Entire villages are underwater. Many have lost everything. Now, they need your support to recover.
What Happened?
The natural disaster amplified by dam water release caused the Namtha and Nam Thuong over 10 meters in just a few hours. The resulting flash floods submerged villages and farmlands across Luang Namtha, leaving families with nothing but the clothes on their backs.
Thousands have lost their homes.
Essential rice stocks for the year have been destroyed.
Livestock, vehicles, and personal belongings have been washed away.
Communities are now in urgent need of food, water, medical supplies, and shelter.

Stories from the Ground
“I am not OK. Everything is lost. Our house, our rice fields, even our animals. I only have one clothes on my body. Me and my children stay on roof for two days before we got rescued”,
