Building Climate Resilience in Puerto Rico10/21/2021 In 2017, Hurricane Maria caused widespread devastation throughout Puerto Rico. In addition to the significant damage left behind, the storm also revealed a pre-existing issue: the islands lacked the infrastructure to deal with the effects of climate change, particularly in relation to power sources. Shortly after the hurricane, Week of Compassion connected with our partner through Global Ministries, AMANESER 2025, who were already working to build more resilient communities that would be better prepared and equipped to withstand future hurricanes and other challenges. Let your work be manifest to your servants, and your glorious power to their children. Let the favor of the Lord our God be upon us, and prosper for us the work of our hands-- O prosper the work of our hands! ~Psalm 90:16-17 In South Sudan, a major protracted humanitarian crisis is unfolding, with nearly 70% of the population in need of urgent assistance. Tens of thousands of people are living in famine-like conditions and malnutrition is at critical levels, while more than 7 million are food insecure. |
