Katrina

While I know you may be inundated with news about the one-year anniversary of Katrina, it’s hard to ignore an event in which hundreds died and hundreds of thousands of homes were destroyed and people displaced.

Over the past year, many of ONE’s anti-poverty coalition partners have used their resources and manpower to aid the victims of these storms. We’re proud to have them on our team. Below are some highlights:

“Habitat for Humanity is now working in 20 communities in the four states most devastated by the hurricanes. Habitat is not only involved in building new homes but in renovating homes damaged by the storms. Operation Home Delivery is also working in partnership with other organizations to acquire land, to put volunteers on the ground and to provide family services.”

“Since beginning relief operations just days after the hurricane, Mercy Corps has helped nearly 250,000 survivors – including more than 100,000 children – begin their recovery, return and rebuilding. We will remain committed to them in the critical months ahead.

Our Gulf Coast programs are powered by the survivors themselves. Their energy, will and spirit have driven a comprehensive, caring effort that stretches across the region. Today, they are reshaping the Gulf Coast and building back better.”

“In the absence of a vigorous official response to the disasters, particularly in the poorest communities, Oxfam America launched its first relief effort in the United States several days after Katrina struck. Working through local partner organizations, we focused our efforts on Mississippi and Louisiana.

In the early weeks following the disasters, we provided emergency grants that helped our partners distribute an array of relief goods, including food and medicine…Our program has now evolved into a long-term commitment to help the region rebuild—not just to its previous condition, but with the goal of providing a more promising future for the Gulf Coast’s poorest residents.”
