Two Category 5 hurricanes recently swept through areas of the Caribbean and Central America, leaving a path of destruction in their wakes. In August, Hurricane Dean hit Mexico particularly hard, displacing many residents (including thousands of indigenous Mayans), and causing an estimated $2 billion in damages. Just a few weeks later, powerful Hurricane Felix slammed into Nicaragua's coast with 160 mph winds, destroying thousands of homes and up to 90% of infrastructure in some areas. These projects are promoted through a partnership between GlobalGiving and the Center for International Disaster Information (CIDI). Learn more about CIDI.
