A year later, thousands of women and girls face challenges in accessing safe shelter, water and sanitation facilities, as well as uncertainty about their future. Donate now to help people who have lost everything.
Together with local partners, CARE responded to all three disasters with vital emergency assistance. Our focus is on women and girls who are often disproportionately affected in natural disasters of this type and are at increased risk of many types of sexual and gender-based violence.
Since the emergency hit, CARE has reached nearly 60,500 people through hygiene kits distribution and promotion, clean water rehabilitation and distribution, shelter repair materials and training, latrine rehabilitation and construction, and cash grants. To maximize the impacts of program implementation, CARE is working with local partners like PKPU, Dompet Dhuafa, Bina Swadaya, Solidaritas Perempuan, and IBU Foundation.
Together over the last year, CARE and partners are working to implement more programs aimed at strengthening family enterprise and business through the provision of inputs, small grants and vocational training packages.
