VIDA thanks GlobalGiving donors for your support! The VIDA team returned from Peru and was able to help unload three shipments. These three shipments will be benefitting the flood victims throughout Peru. VIDA has made a total of nine shipments (ocean and air) carrying nearly $10 million in aid. The VIDA team was able to visit a couple of the regions and needless to say it was tragic. 800,000 homeless, 300 plus hospitals/clinics destroyed and the infrastructure is devastated - roads and bridges washed out and entire communities swept clean.
VIDA is working with our partners and the government to help rebuild the healthcare infrastructure. The government is dedicating transportation resources to transport the aid to the impacted communities and we are ramping up our efforts.
To that end, VIDA would be making 12 additonal shipments by sea and air to Peru over the next 12 weeks. To that end, we are excited to announce that 3 containers will be leaving the VIDA warehouse over the next three weeks carrying millions of dollars in aid!
We are in the process of securing funding for the next 9 containers and appreciate the support of the GlobalGiving community!
Regards,
Adam See
