CADENA on International Women’s Day

Every March 8, the struggle of women for equality in all areas of society is commemorated. We have carried out several actions such as the “Florence Nightingale” committee, as well as several workshops on “menstrual poverty” to generate a more egalitarian education and female life. From CADENA we remember this day as a symbol of the struggles that, even today, women carry out.

Ukraine needs you!

As a result of the recent events in the Ukrainian territory, CADENA expresses its support for civil society that has been affected by the armed situation, and we regret the effects that this may have.

After carrying out an extensive evaluation of the possible actions to be taken, we have sent a task force to the conflict zone, with the purpose of articulating the Jewish communities of Warsaw and Krakow. Collection centers will be created, deliveries of medical material, essential supplies, as well as psychosocial support for those affected.

In CADENA, we need your help more than ever. We have made it our duty to alleviate the pain of the Ukrainian population as much as possible. Your donations and contributions are vital so that our work can continue without interruption. Let’s build bridges of empathy among all, for the sake of the people.  

Help Ecuador!

Misfortunes come when you least expect them. On January 31, in the neighborhoods of La Gasca and La Comuna, north of Quito, the capital of Ecuador, heavy rains caused an “alluvium”: a mudflow where water carries loose material down a creek or riverbed. At the initiative of Cadena Internacional, we sent a multidisciplinary team of humanitarian professionals from Mexico, Costa Rica and Colombia led by our Pathfinders to assist in the work carried out by the local Jewish community of Quito, and thus, help the people affected by the flood.

Your participation is vital for us to continue bringing help where it is needed, and it is thanks to you that today we are able to support communities in catastrophic situations such as Malawi and Ecuador.

Regional Humanitarian Assistance Drill: CADENA Guatemala 

Between January 26 and February 5, we participated in the Regional Humanitarian Assistance Simulation of CEPREDENAC, in which we had the opportunity to send international aid from the Mexico office to Guatemala. Two members of the GO TEAM participated as evaluators of the USAR teams, and two rescuers from the Guatemala office participated as observers of the team deployment process. It has definitely been a great opportunity to establish cooperative ties with other organizations at the regional level and, in this way, favor the development of future humanitarian interventions.

Specialization and rescue course “Go Team 2022”.

We have moved to INCAP in Tizayuca, Hidalgo, with the intention of developing an annual training plan, called “Go Team 2022”, which consisted in the delivery of three specialization courses for our operational and technical improvement in vertical rescue, search and rescue in collapsed spaces (BREC), and vehicular extraction. As a result, 18 of our active members were able to move up a level within our Go Team volunteer “lifeline”

“From liter to roof” campaign

We are carrying out the campaign “From liter to roof”, which has allowed us to provide a roof to those families who have suffered some kind of disaster or did not have an adequate roof over their homes. We thank all those who, day after day, deliver their Tetra Pak packages to the schools: without you, none of this would be possible.

Recognition to Itzayana Rojas

 We had the honor of meeting Itzayana Altamirano Rojas, a 7 years old girl representing the Scouts of Cuautitlán Izcalli. Her approach to CADENA has been on her own initiative, with the intention of carrying out a Tetra Pak collection campaign for our program “De Litro a Techo”. Throughout these months, she has been collecting these products with her family and friends, delivering more than 4,000 pieces of Tetra Pak, an action that will make possible the placement of ecological roofs in the homes of the people who need them most. Thank you very much Itza, your contribution is essential for our cause!

ILAN Awards: Second Edition

We are proud to share with you that ILAN Israel Foundation – Latin American Network, which promotes social impact through innovation, strengthening ties between Latin America and Israel, honored us with the Shimon Peres Award in the category of Peace, given to that person or institution that through a truly innovative project, promotes fraternity and has humanitarian work aimed at the development of Human Rights, contributing to the promotion of this principle, in order to improve the quality of life of people. We are grateful for this great honor, which encourages us to continue on our path to make this world a resilient and equitable place for all.

Resilience building workshops

Continuing the project initiated with Axa Mexico and ARISE MX on resilient communities, in this third stage, which deals with training, CADENA gave workshops focused on resilience building and risk analysis in the communities of Palmito Verde, Cristo Rey and Empacadora Bedolla. We were able to reach La Concha, a community heavily impacted by Hurricane Pamela. There, the psychosocial team conducted a group session with people from the community who had lived through this disaster. The training was given to 110 people; we didn’t form a resilience brigade of 100 people. At the same time, 500 resilience books, 500 flood prevention comics and 80 posters of GIRD and floods were distributed. We want to give a special thanks to Volaris for the flights and to Mitsubshi Motors De Mexico for the transportation.
