Fase 1:

Ayuda para catástrofes

Global Empowerment Mission respondió en la primera fase, la de ayuda a la catástrofe, proporcionando sistemas de purificación de agua a los más afectados por los ciclones tropicales en Mozambique.

La destructiva tormenta causó daños catastróficos y una crisis humanitaria en Mozambique, Zimbabue y Malawi, dejando más de 1.300 muertos y muchos más desaparecidos.

Global Empowerment Mission se asoció con la Red Catalizadora del Desarrollo Local (LDCN) para suministrar a las clínicas locales de salud, a los líderes de las aldeas y a las escuelas sistemas de purificación de agua para disminuir la probabilidad de que se propaguen más enfermedades.

Impacto de GEM:

En los terrenos 10 días después de la catástrofe
Caminó con más de una tonelada de ayuda a través de pantanos, ríos y campos de hierba durante kilómetros
Más de 30 aldeanos ayudaron a llevar suministros a pueblos remotos
Proporcionó sistemas de filtración de agua y alimentos
Apoyo a los programas de prevención del cólera en varias aldeas desatendidas
