Century's worst floods render land fruitless in Indian states

Last September, the Indian states of Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka saw the worst flooding in 100 years. Whole villages were destroyed. And as the floodwaters receded, they took with them many villagers' livelihoods and left salty mud, making the planting of crops almost impossible, reports MNN.

Since this devastation, India Partners has helped nearly 200 individuals--that's 38 families--clear their land and prepare it to plant new crops.

"We have hope," said one villager after receiving help.

Not only is India Partners restoring land, they are also providing blankets, clothing and food. But most importantly, they are introducing villagers to the Living Water, Jesus Christ, who will restore their lives.
