Disaster Aid Canada has determined they want to focus on assisting in rebuilding communities and building capacity in Central America in 2021/2022.
This has been based on experience in projects in Guatemala, Honduras and Mexico.
In conjuction with Disaster Aid USA they have formed a Disaster Aid Regional Collaborative.
Membership is open to Rotary Clubs and Districts from Canada to Panama as well as non-profit organizations and funders working in North and Central America
Their goals are:
- Utilize the existing experience, networks, skills and resources to establish Disaster Aid partners in Central American countries.
- Build partnerships with Rotary Clubs and Districts to respond to emergencies in their own regions and to work together to rebuild communities.
- Partner with non-profit and educational organisations to support the building of community capacity through education and training programs.
