Dear project supporters,
One of our implementing partners the Thinking Pink Breast Cancer Foundation (TPBCF) visited the mudslide-impacted community at Regent on Thursday August 17th. This site is ground zero – where hundreds were killed and are still missing.
The victims are currently housed in a makeshift school. They have lost everything and are in desperate need.
Cremelda, the founder of TPBCF reported that the children still are still in shock. Many of them lost their parents and have been orphaned by this disaster. There is also a dire need for counseling/psychosocial support as the victims are traumatized.
Thanks to YOUR support, we provided bottles of water and some grocery items as there is an on-going need for this. The community leaders requested help specifically in the form of food, clothing and medication.
Thanks for your on-going and speedy assistance as we bring hope to these communities that have lost everything.
With appreciation
The Develop Africa team
