September 2017 was a devastating month for Mexico. It started with an earthquake on the 7th, followed by two others on the 19th and 23rd and multiple replicas. Hundreds of lives and thousands of homes and business were lost. Yet, the Mexican people joined forces and began rebuilding their communities. Thanks to your commitment, Fondo Semillas was able to support 24 of these groups in their slow process to recovery. Today, three years after the most famous of those earthquakes, we want to share with you the evaluation of our program.
Some of the highlights include:
Another key aspect explains why disaster recovery actions should focus on women:
It might take 10 years for these communities to completely recover. Maybe even more with the current pandemic taking place worldwide. That is why in Fondo Semillas we are committed to continue supporting recovery efforts with our Resilient Communities program.
Thanks again for your continued support to our objectives. We hope you can share our evaluation so more donors understand the importance of having disaster responses with a long-term and gender perspective.
