More than 5,000 people in the remote villages of Cao Pu and Li Xian are struggling to meet their daily food needs a year after the deadly earthquake that reduced their homes to rubble.
Cao Pu and Li Xian are examples of the pockets of extreme poverty that are still to be found in the devasted region. The villages are between 2,000 and 3,000 metres high, only a few miles from the 5.12 earthquake epicentre, and since the quake are often very difficult to access by road. With aftershocks, landslides and floods a daily threat to their existence these tent-dwellers often do not have enough food to meet their family’s basic needs.
Sichuan Quake Relief needs your support to keep sending in supplies of rice, oil, vegetables, meat and fruit to these stricken people.
To help support their nutritional needs for the next two months, SQR is aiming to raise 200,000RMB.
