Support Afro-Mexican Families Affected by Hurricane Otis
In the aftermath of Hurricane Otis, a climate-charged disaster that struck Mexico’s western coast on October 25th, thousands, including children, are in urgent need as they face the loss of their homes and limited access to food. The most severely impacted are Black and Indigenous families residing in historically underserved communities.
How Your Donation Makes a Difference:
The Black Co-Networks, a coalition of Afro-Descendant peoples spanning from Colombia to Canada, has united to establish an Afro-Mexican Kitchen. Here, Afro-Mexican leaders will be employed to prepare free meals for families in dire need. Your tax-deductible donation today will directly contribute to sustaining the Afro-Mexican Kitchen.
Why Donate:
- Immediate Impact: Your funds go directly towards providing meals for families affected by the hurricane.
- Empowering the Community: We're organizing workshops in the Nueva Frontera, a predominantly Afro-Mexican neighborhood, in collaboration with ICATEGRO (Institute of Technical Teaching for Work in Guerrero). These workshops equip unemployed individuals with essential skills, certified by the Secretary of Public Education, to contribute to the rebuilding process.
- Investing in the Future: The skills acquired in these workshops are not just for the present crisis; they empower individuals for future projects and emergencies.
