Hurricane Iota hits Nicaragua
Central America is being hit again, this time by hurricane Iota, which made landfall on the Atlantic coast of Nicaragua earlier today as a category 5 hurricane, only two weeks since hurricane Eta has caused severe damage. All the families who have been affected are in our thoughts and prayers. We are preparing to visit the Telica communities to assess the damage as soon as possible. Before the entry of hurricane Iota, the families had lost, on average, at least 50% of their harvest, but there are several families who have already lost the entire harvest.
We are evaluating the best way to support these families given the resources available to us. If you can support our work, this is definitely the right moment. Donate through our anniversary campaign at:
