Our Commitment to Disaster Relief

By Cynthia Aime Duran | Marketing & Communications Manager

This September marked the 7th anniversary of the 8.2 earthquakes that hit in different areas of Mexico. The destruction was devastating both physically and emotionally and in Oaxaca, the Istmo communities were greatly affected. During our first and second stages of providing disaster relief, the International Community Foundation (ICF) focused primarily on quick emergency relief. During the third stage, we switched focus to fund long-term projects that would make way for the sustainable recovery of the communities affected. 

During the third stage of disaster relief response, ICF partnered with eleven local community organizations to assess longer-term community needs and provide the philanthropic support to serve those needs. The eleven organizations are located in Oaxaca, Morelos, and Mexico City: 

1. Friends of El Peñón 
2. Fundación Cantaro Azul A.C.
3. Fundación Comunidad, A.C.
4. Fundación Comunitaria Malinalco
5. Fondo Unido, IAP
6. Pro Ayuda a la Mujer Origen, A.C. 
7. Proyecto Impacto Consultores, A.C. 
8. Crecemos - Desarrollo Integral de la Juventud Oaxaca 
9. Fundación Comunitaria Oaxaca, A.C. 
10. Centro de Apoyo Para la Educacion y Creatividad
11. Manos que Reconstruyen Oaxaca, A.C.

The projects funded range from developing vital emergency kits to providing therapeutic outlets to communities after surviving a traumatic experience. These projects were essential in providing key disaster relief responses to the most impacted communities. Our objectives were to promote the social reconstruction of communities through local community foundations and initiatives that promote the economic reactivation of the country through two ways:

  • Developing capacities in affected communities for economic reactivation and sustainable development such as disaster preparedness
  • Informing and advocating on behalf of the communities so that they are engaged in decision-making about reconstruction policies and efforts that impact them

As we turn a new page in our efforts for disaster relief due to more disasters hitting Mexico every year, such as hurricanes, ICF will continue to empower communities by providing local community foundations with the necessary resources to rebuild and strengthen their communities. After continuously working with our partner organizations for many years, ICF has become an expert in prioritizing the needs of the organizations and communities. Our efforts will help provide food, water, shelter, health services and more to those who have been impacted. With your donation, we will be able to provide an inclusive and safe environment for the people already impacted and those who will be impacted by natural disasters in Mexico. We encourage you to help us unite, inspire and provide hope during times of great uncertainty.
