These locations were the most severely damaged by the disaster. In the case of Santiago de Mar a and Tacuba, it is estimated that between 80 to 90 percent of the homes were totally destroyed. For this reason, these populations form part of the organization s primary geographic action area. In addition, the staff is a multidisciplinary team of professionals, with experience in logistical planning and emergency relief related with natural disasters. To date, limited quantities of food, mattresses and bedding, materials for the construction of temporary housing, and water, have been distributed.
Additional help is needed.
We urgently need cash donations to purchase materials and food for the victims of this tragedy. The funds collected through Rainforest Alliance and this bank account will be utilized to purchase building materials such as lumber, roofing, cement, and bricks, in order to assist these communities in the reconstruction of their homes, as well as other articles of primary necessity like water and food. Hasta el momento, se han entregado alimentos, colchones, materiales para la construcci n de viviendas temporales y agua.
