New Update on Floods in Central America

World Accord’s partner in Central America, Project Global Village (PAG), recently shared this update of the work they carried out following extensive flooding in Southern Honduras this past October.

Soon after flooding started, PAG moved quickly to provide families who lost homes and livelihoods with food rations, household essentials, and medical assistance. PAG has since stayed to help communities rehabilitate water wells and other infrastructure.

Experience has taught us that participatory approaches that complement emergency responses with reconstruction and development work – like the type PAG used here – are by far most effective.
