We remain in the intervention phase of our post-DANA response, with current efforts focused on children and older adults, two groups particularly affected by the prolonged impact of the emergency.
Since January, we have launched two key initiatives. “Teléfono Amigo”, based in Algemesí, provides telephone companionship and emotional support to older adults experiencing increased loneliness after the disaster. Through active listening, the service helps reduce isolation and improve emotional well-being.
We have also opened “La Casita de Algemesí”, a socio-educational space in the Raval neighborhood for children ages 6 to 12 living in vulnerable situations. Over a 15-month period, the project will offer educational, recreational, and emotional support activities, creating a safe and positive environment that helps children regain stability and routine.
At the same time, we are in the final stage of distributing essential furniture, household items, and basic equipment to affected families, a crucial step in restoring dignified living conditions in damaged homes.
We continue adapting our response to the real needs on the ground. Thank you to all our donors for making this work possible - your support is at the heart of every step forward.
