Humanitarian Aid
We support at risk communities
Humanitarian Aid was the first area created in Madre Coraje and it has kept, after 25 years, its spirit of cooperation and support for impoverished communities. Our aim is to better the living conditions of communities that are at risk of social exclusion by sending Humanitarian Aid that offers health, educational and emergency support. We also work on preventing emergencies caused by adverse weather events in Andean and Mozambican communities through projects which help mitigate their effects.
We have been able to reach more than 100,000 people through local organizations who work toward the development of impoverished communities in Peru and Mozambique.
Humanitarian Aid
We send resources
We provide humanitarian and basic necessities to communities at risk of social exclusion. This way, we do not only cover their basic needs but also help build active citizens who are the protagonists of their own development.
Health
We support medical centers, shelters, schools and social homes by sending healthcare materials, first-aid kits and personal care products, as well as soap. We promote education for fostering healthy habits and provide resources to help improve their infrastructures.
Education
We have been able to help to expand and create many new libraries in Peru by sending books. Also, by providing school supplies for children we have helped parents send their children to school with less financial strain. Since playing is learning, we also send toys to stock playrooms, for school events, Christmas parties, etc…
Emergencies
Through providing Humanitarian Aid, Madre Coraje also supports the impoverished communities that do not have the means to endure the cold months or the consequences of natural disasters. We send Aid through Cáritas Peru, which consists mainly on warm clothes, shoes, blankets and soap to help maintain personal hygiene and clean their homes.
