Help hand in hand in Ukraine: CADENA International

We begin to coordinate aid at the Ukrainian border! Our volunteers are assessing the situation in the refugee camps, to identify the needs for help. The situation for displaced people is difficult, in the border areas they must wait up to 48 hours to be able to cross, with very harsh weather conditions, due to the current cold in the region. Many civilians come to lend their help and assist those entering the new country. We are working extremely quickly to continue assessing the situation so that we can act where it is most needed. Your help is invaluable so that we can continue our assistance!

We were present in Ecuador! 

CADENA International went to Ecuador to respond to the flood that occurred in the city of Quito. When we arrived, our volunteer doctor treated five of those injured by the tragedy. Fortunately, enough aid arrived on the scene, so we decided to travel to the rural area of “La Maná”, Cotopaxi province, to support those affected by the floods. Over the course of two days we visited the affected areas, places that were completely isolated due to the destruction of bridges and roads. We provided medical assistance to the most vulnerable population and installed water filters and solar lamps. We are deeply grateful to Camilo Pardos and Jis Castellanos for their incredible participation.

Humanitarian intervention in La Guajira: CADENA Colombia 

We made a trip to deliver aid to eight very remote indigenous communities: Ipotshiru, Ballena, Aipeilu, Yoishipaa, Musichi, Shoshoin, Walilujuo and Ian, in La Guajira. There, we were able to assist 260 families. We made deliveries in markets: threads to make backpacks, water filters and solar lamps. We also offered the opportunity to have medical consultations, and we carried out games and recreational activities with the children. In addition, we held a workshop on dignified menstruation and ecological sanitary pads. Overcoming cultural and linguistic barriers and connecting with these communities by listening and helping them fills our souls.

Humanitarian intervention in Oaxaca: Juventud CADENA

We went to the Agencia Municipal Renacimiento in Oaxaca, where we carried out a humanitarian intervention with Juventud CADENA. This community had never received social support or humanitarian aid, and is made up of families who migrated from the countryside due to soil erosion to live near the garbage dump.

Only three years ago the houses were electrified, and so far not all of them have access to drinking water, so they have to pay for a water pipe every week. Given the situation, their state of health and hygiene is greatly affected. These families do not have the income to buy basic necessities and, unfortunately, the children used to work in the garbage dump, and for several years now schools have been built to provide access to education.

Faced with this situation, CADENA delivered electric stoves so that they can replace the stove and thus reduce the contact with smoke. We also brought them basic necessities such as clothing, blankets, hygiene kits and tuna fish.

The CADENA Youth team also conducted interviews to get to know them and better understand their needs. Signs of violence, extreme poverty, child labor, among others, were identified. However, they also found stories of love and hope. Humanitarian aid is given with humanity, and this one-on-one approach demonstrates that the line between beneficiary and volunteer can no longer exist.

Humanitarian intervention in Malawi: CADENA International

We carried out a humanitarian intervention in Malawi thanks to a great team formed by humanitarians from different countries who gave their best. The team consisted of Steffi as humanitarian leader from the Argentina office, Klass served as co-leader of the intervention and director of the South Africa office, and Jordan Leppan as our doctor.

 Through CADENA International we delivered in Chikwawa and Nsanje 100 solar lamps, 300 water filters and toys for the children. At the same time, we gave them the opportunity to have general medical consultations and crisis interventions. In this way, we were able to help approximately 6,000 people. At CADENA, we continue to give aid hand in hand.

 Mission in La Paloma, Quibdó: CADENA Colombia

After a very memorable journey, our volunteers from Quibdó arrived in the community of La Paloma. School supplies were delivered and community pots were prepared for more than 200 people. More than 100 children were helped with the support of Natastirling and the toy library. Kits and gifts were also handed out. At CADENA we continue to extend our arm, making a difference.

Malawi needs you!

On January 22 and 23, tropical storm Ana made landfall in Madagascar, prior to passing through northern Mozambique and Malawi, generating torrential rains and heavy flooding. Due to its extremely poor infrastructure and lack of preparedness, Malawi has suffered the most damage so far. As of January 27, some 48,200 houses (approximately 217,000 people) have been affected. According to reports, 19 people have died and 107 have been seriously injured. In view of this situation, CADENA has sent an international team with water filters, food, temporary shelters and solar energy lamps due to the large number of people affected.

Thanks to the donations we receive, CADENA is able to provide local individuals and families in need with critical assistance and services. We need your support to help us mitigate the crisis created by this cyclone and bring relief to the people of Malawi.

Delivery in “Hogar El Camino”: CADENA Colombia

Unfortunately, not all of us are born and/or grow up in favorable conditions: many of us have a very hard life. That is the situation of the homeless. We arrived at “Hogar El Camino”, a place that helps these people to reintegrate into society. We distributed clothes, food, grooming and hairdressing. There was dancing, singing, and we shared a lot with them. A special thanks to all those who make it possible to continue helping and reaching out to those who need it most.

Humanitarian Intervention Chilpancingo

The impact generated by the winter frosts has left the population living in the Sierras de Guerrero in an extremely vulnerable situation. Therefore, we decided to carry out the Chilpancingo Humanitarian Intervention (which is part of the Cold Brigade 2021 – 2022), in which we helped to combat the low temperatures. The communities to which the aid was provided are: Izotepec, Xoxomanatlán, Omiltemi, Chautipán and Las Joyitas. We impacted the lives of 661 families with the delivery of supplies; in addition, we provided 39 medical consultations, 18 dental consultations and a dental health prevention workshop. Special thanks to: Protección Civil Guerrero, Unifin, Steren Mexico and Ropa Federación.

Mission in the dining area of the Fraternity of Divina Providencia: CADENA Guatemala

A few days ago, we visited the dining room of the “Fraternity of Divina Providencia”, where we had the opportunity to support 250 homeless people. Our greatest thanks to China Wok Guatemala, who did the favor of donating 250 lunches. We also provided blankets, which are needed for the cold weather during this time of the year.
