Thank You for Supporting Flood Victims in Bahía Blanca
We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks for your generous support of our emergency response project for the victims of the devastating floods in Bahía Blanca, Argentina.
Our main contribution is to work in Phase 2 of the recovery process, as people across the country were able to organize themselves at the first moment of the crisis and send clothing, mattresses, cleaning supplies, food, and other essential items. However, very few organizations continue working after the emergency, when the news passes and the worst part remains: reconstruction. This is more expensive and often very difficult for families who have lost everything. This is why we are focusing on this issue and will be working on the ground once the cleanup work in the homes is completed.
The four main actions will be:
- The purchase of construction materials to repair 75 homes we have already identified, together with local partners.
- Support and advice for families during this process, with local partners.
- Volunteer activities with affected families, during July.
- Assistance in the reconstruction of a vocational training center in the city.
We will keep you updated of our next steps!
Thank you so much again.
