Empowers 1000 women in Acapulco after hurricanes

Empowering 1,000 Women in Acapulco after the Hurricanes

Progress Report

June 19, 2025

“When all seems lost, hope blossoms in community.”

A beginning full of strength and dignity

Thanks to the valuable support of caring people like you, we took the first steps toward a profound dream: to accompany 1,000 women from the areas of Acapulco hardest hit by Hurricanes Otis and John, so that they can rebuild not only their homes, but also their dignity, their emotional health, and their ability to support their families.

This project was born out of pain, but also out of courage. The women we accompany have lost everything: their homes, their businesses, their mental health, their stability. But they have not lost the ability to get back on their feet. They just needed to know that they were not alone.

First actions: embracing life after the storm

In this initial stage, we have achieved:

• Two group self-care therapy sessions focused on post-traumatic stress management. Indigenous women, older adults, and women with disabilities participated, sharing their stories with tears... and with hope. Among them were three women with physical disabilities who faced double exclusion: that of the disaster and that of indifference.

• Three individual therapy sessions aimed at people in highly vulnerable situations:

o An indigenous woman who had been displaced and had been unable to sleep since the hurricane struck.

o A woman with a speech disability who, for the first time, found a space where she was listened to without haste.

o A woman with a motor disability who lost her job and her independence.

These sessions were not just spaces for healing: they were acts of love and humanity, where each story was received with respect and each person began to glimpse a new way of life.

Why your donation transforms realities

This project is not welfare. It is structural transformation from a human perspective. Each woman who becomes emotionally and economically stronger becomes a pillar for her family, her community, and her environment.

With your support, we are sowing:

• Self-care: women who prioritize themselves and learn to heal.

• Empowerment: women who regain their voice and decide their future.

• Solidarity networks: women who become a support for other women.

A future under construction, with you by our side.

This is only the beginning. Many stories await transformation and many women await embrace. Each donation is not just a number: it is a gesture of faith in life, in equality, and in the power to rebuild together.

We invite you to continue walking alongside us. Your help not only supports one woman; it ignites an entire community.

Thank you for believing that another Acapulco is possible. Thank you for being part of this rebirth.
