Hurricane Eta brought devastating rains, mudslides to Honduras
Thousands of people across Honduras were in the direct path of Hurricane Eta and have lost everything.
Many more have been affected by its lasting impacts such as damaged roads, flooding, and fallen bridges.
They are without food, water, & shelter.
Hurricane #Eta is being described as one of the strongest storms of the season
In a year already devastated by other storms, economic impact and travel shutdowns due to the pandemic, the effects are only beginning to be felt along the northern coast of Honduras where we work.
Our teams have been hard at work each day diligently providing care for those in our immediate reach. We began the week by distributing clothing that was donated to Connect Global by a shop owner for people who have lost their possessions in the flood waters.
We continue to provide daily staples such as rice, beans, and cooking oil.
A team of Connect Global staff and volunteers also joined the sweet girls and boys at the Little Lambs Refuge for a day of cooking and distributing 250 hot meals to our neighbors in La Masica.
The Connect Global team was able to immediately assist and serve the community thanks to your generosity.
There is still much work to be done and our teams are out working every single day to help those who have been affected by the storm.
We invite you to Give With Us to make an immediate impact in the lives of those who have been hit the hardest.
Thank You!
“Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to them, ‘Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,’ but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it? In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.”
Connect Global will continue to serve the people of Honduras.
Knowing that the community will continue to need support for food and the Gospel we have adopted a 3 part plan.
1) Family Food Bags: We will continue to provide these Family Food Bags to individual families (including pastors’ families) as needed to make sure that their needs are met.
2) Strategic Care Ministries: We will continue to focus efforts on Strategic Care Ministries that are in turn caring for larger groups of people. Delivering food in bulk to these locations helps provide care for dozens of people at a time.
3) Urban Gardening through Aquaponics: We have set the goal to build 50 urban gardens for families all over the north coast region of Honduras as well as 1 large Urban Farm to grow food in bulk and to provide a training model. Between March 15th & June 8th We built 5 of these family-sized Urban Farms. This component will provide long-term sustainability through helping others grow their own food and allowing Connect Global to grow large amounts of food to give away.
