Why this Project is Important
Potential Long Term Impact
Schools and shelters would become safer against disasters. Microcredit activity will help accelerate the recovery of self-employed women and micro insurance activity will protect the beneficiaries or cover their risks in case of future disasters.
Project Message
Mainstreaming mitigation is not easy; everyone loves immediate relief. But in the long run, mitigation is worth it.
