IDEX Partners Come Together to Aid Those Affected by Natural Disasters in Guatemala

By Gillian Wilson | Project Leader


Your support is still needed to provide basic supplies to families affected by Tropical Storm Agatha and the eruption of the Pacaya volcano.

The devastation left behind by these natural disasters is still evident months later.  Some roads are still impassable, community members have been displaced from their homes, and many rural families lost their livelihoods when the rains washed away their crops.

Although they face their own hardships and losses, IDEX partners have come together to help each other in these difficult times.

  • Trained community facilitators are following up with their neighbors to document updates of each family’s situation.
  • Facilitators are requesting appropriate support from the government for communities that are positioned in high-risk areas.
  • Partners have secured construction materials to reinforce damaged homes in their communities.

Many people are still waiting for supplies and help is still needed for these families to begin rebuilding their lives and communities.


By donating to emergency relief efforts you are ensuring that more families can benefit from this program.
Thank you for your support.
