Sewa International has launched a fundraising campaign to support families affected by the devastating flash floods that struck Texas Hill County over the weekend.
The nonprofit’s relief efforts aim to provide clean water and purification kits, ready-to-eat meals, hygiene supplies, first-aid and essential medicines, dry clothing, cleaning materials for mold remediation, mobile health services, and trauma counseling.

“Donation brings relief — providing urgent supplies, clean water, health support, and dignity to flood survivors,” the organization said in a statement.
Donations are being accepted through Sewa’s official website to aid the families who lost their homes and belongings. The organization has also encouraged people to organize local fundraisers and spread awareness about the ongoing need for support.
The floods, triggered by heavy rainfall that caused the Guadalupe River to overflow, have killed at least 78 people, including 28 children, as of July 6. Rescue efforts are ongoing, with more than 40 people still reported missing.
The disaster has drawn national attention. Texas Governor Greg Abbott said during a press conference on July 6 that 68 of the reported deaths were in Kerr County, the epicenter of the flooding.
Among the worst-hit locations was Camp Mystic, a nearly century-old Christian summer camp for girls, where 10 campers and one counselor remain missing.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) was activated following a major disaster declaration, and Coast Guard helicopters and planes have been deployed for search and rescue efforts.
More than 850 people have been rescued so far, some from trees and rooftops, officials said. Authorities have warned of continued risk as additional water surges have been reported in parts of the Guadalupe River basin.
