Help those affected by Storm Amanda in El Salvador
Donation protected
El Salvador has been hit by Tropical Storm Amanda. At least 30 people have died, 1 person is missing and dozens have been injured. There is severe flooding and landslides, leaving thousands of families without homes, food, clothing and basic necessities.
I am raising funds to send to a local organisation in El Salvador, which is helping those in need during this crisis. This organisation is called Asociación CINDE: https://asociacioncinde.org
CINDE is a non-profit organisation, whose mission is to provide a well-rounded education to children, adolescents and young adults from excluded social sectors. CINDE also has a women's programme called "Empowered Women", which offers micro-loans and workshops to women who are in a vulnerable situation, including many who work in the informal sector.
Asociación CINDE works in the capital of the country, in the metropolitan areas of Ayutuxtepeque, Ciudad Delgado, Mejicanos, and Soyapango. These areas all have similar characteristics of overpopulation and overcrowding, violence, unemployment, concentration of informal trade in the streets and an absence of childcare programs.
During the COVID-19 crisis the organisation has been providing hygiene and food parcels for those most in need in the communities that it works in. Due to this current emergency, the organisation will be increasing their efforts as much as they can to provide those parcels, as well as clothing to those who have been affected by the storm and the consequential flooding.
Your donations will therefore be used to buy food and basic necessities for those who have lost so much because of the storm and floods.
If you can donate something, please help us. Anything will be appreciated.
Unfortunately, there is very little international media coverage of the crisis. For more information about the situation, visit the following links:
