LEH - LADAKH
On August 5th, 2010, the picturesque
landscape of Leh Ladakh was dramatically
transformed.
As the clouds burst, flash floods swept the

region.
The waters send mud and debris coursing

down the mountain slopes and wreaked
widespread damage to Leh, the region’s
main city, as well as the surrounding
areas.
Partnering with a local organisation, SEEDS’
raced against time to reconstruct locally
appropriate houses before winter set in.
Most of these families had no means to

reconstruct houses on their own.
80% of these households were headed by

women.
Significant contributions to the core houses

were made by the families themselves.
