NLS

For four months, with donors, partners and the artist community we have raised USD 21,000 in relief, distributing seeds, saplings, groceries, school books, sanitary items, disaster relief items, and building materials to families who are still facing ongoing crisis.

Families are now able to reap crops they sowed from our earlier relief distributions, and while some public power lines have been restored many families are still homeless or living under expiring tarpaulin. We thank all community members who have weighed in to share their experiences, and contributed relief in goods and labour, helping to guide us towards cultural resilience.

Moving forward our efforts are directed to helping with rebuilding of the Flamstead Gardens Basic School and Maroon Town Basic School, as well as continued support for farmers and families.
