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!

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.  

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 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.

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.

Florence Nightingale Committee: CADENA Colombia, Argentina and South Africa

A few days ago, the Florence Nightingale Committee gave a theoretical and practical workshop ”Embroidering our rules” to CADENA volunteers in different regions of the world: Cadena Colombia, Cadena Argentina and Cadena South Africa. This workshop aims to combat menstrual poverty that currently affects millions of women in all countries. According to UN data, it is estimated that 1 in 10 girls miss school during menstruation, causing conflicts in their development, empowerment and exercise of rights, such as access to education. Menstrual poverty is the lack of access to information, products, and safe and hygienic conditions related to menstruation. Throughout the training for South African women, 3 main topics were addressed: menstruation from a medical and psychological perspective, and the empowerment of women through menstruation. Finally, an explanation was given on how to make their own ecological menstrual pads. We continue to improve realities around the world.

Refugee Welcome Fair

The team of volunteers from CADENA Youth held a Welcome Fair for refugee children from the Refugee House Program. Activities included typical Mexican activities with a cultural twist, such as a lottery with modifications to include typical food from their countries of origin. We also carried out activities that promote recycling, such as ball-and- stick with recycled PET bottles. Finally, we danced to the sound of mariachis. At the same time, our volunteers talked with the adults, who shared stories about their transition from their countries of origin to Mexico. We performed integration activities and shared aspects of Mexican culture for the children who now call Mexico home. Congratulations!

2021, a tense year for the planet: ARISE MX

The 2021 Emissions Gap report shows that we are on track for a global temperature increase of 2.7°C by the end of the century, way over the estimate in the Paris Agreement. Yet many countries are delaying the implementation of their reduction plans until after 2030. The world needs to reduce annual greenhouse gas emissions by half in the next eight years. Carbon markets can deliver real emissions reductions, as long as they are backed by agreements to track and make progress transparent.
