Axis: Humanitarian Action

Office: Colombia

From February 21-23, 2023 in Rosas, Cauca, CADENA Colombia responded to landslides caused by heavy rains. With the support of our general volunteers and in collaboration with Start Network we responded to this disaster and brought assistance to one of the most remote areas of the department. One of the most important objectives of this intervention was to bring aid to the people most affected by the landslide, since the access roads were closed and they had not received any help. Despite the difficulties, we were able to distribute support, benefiting 2,000 people with the delivery of 500 food pantries, 500 hygiene kits and 5 community water filters. To complement this response, we conducted workshops on disaster risk reduction and mental health care.
