Empowering vulNerable young Adults to Build sustainable Livelihoods and Enterprises (ENABLE)
The project aims to eradicate extreme poverty amongst 2,815 marginalised and vulnerable young women and men (aged 18-35) – including people with disabilities – in mainly rural areas of Eastern Province, Rwanda. The project will empower participants to significantly increase their income, develop confidence, build skills and networks, and promote positive gender norms. Our goal will be achieved through delivering a package of capacity building activities coupled with promoting access to business networks, market actors, financial institutions and employers. In a context dominated by fractured families and meagre economic opportunities, the project will offer much-needed guidance and pathways for advancement. It will address the main barriers to productive economic engagement of youth on both the demand side (availability of opportunities) and supply side (young people ready for work). Participants will take part for approximately 15 months. Technical skills, mind-set change, social networks, and material gains will be achieved gradually as a result of experiential learning, access to validated job opportunities and aftercare. Participants will begin with a career orientation workshop, helping them to make well-informed choices based on local market demands, their talents and interests. They will then enter practical training during which they will build technical skills (in construction, hospitality, beauty and agribusiness) together with social skills such as communication and problem-solving. They will then be supported to access opportunities or build market linkages if they choose agribusiness. They will continue ‘learning while earning’, and attend specialised workshops. The final phase will offer advanced business support to those interested in entrepreneurship, assistance with registering cooperatives and connections to other available resources.
As a result of the project, 2,210 young people (including 1,326 young women) and 90 young people with disabilities will join the labour force, and will possess the necessary technical and soft skills, motivation and self-confidence. 2,080 young people (including 1,248 young women) and 60 young people with disabilities will increase their income to at least 36,000 RwF per month from employment or self-employment. This is over four times our baseline income of 8,000 RwF per month (and the national extreme poverty line of 8,755 RwF; NISR 2016), enabling them to lift themselves and at least 3 dependents out of extreme poverty. We will also assist 65 individuals with complex disabilities to engage in meaningful occupation, working towards the longer-term goal of employment.

Emergency Relief of Earthquake Disaster at Maluku Province
On 26th September an earthquake of 6.5 magnitude struck Ambon, Maluku Province of Indonesia. A series of aftershocks and smaller quakes followed shaking the surrounding areas and causing significant injury and damage. More than 30 people have died, 179 people injured, and estimated 166,903 IDPs in 4 areas. Furthermore, more than 4,000 houses were damaged in addition to several public facilities and infrastructure that are currently out of action. Our response will consist of the provision of primary healthcare, psychosocial services (PSS), and psychological first aid (PFA). This action is critical because of the reduced health care available, caused by damage to health facilities, heightened risk of communicable diseases from damaged hygiene facilities and scale of displacement, and the psychological trauma caused by the disaster. A large number of community members fled their homes due to the fear of larger subsequent shakes and potential Tsunamis, part due to the memory of previous disasters. This has been deemed inaccurate by meteorologists but the need for psychosocial support is high. The full services offered will be; - Medical services team consisting of 2 Medical Doctors, and 2 nurses/midwives targeting 1,250 people in 6 villages targeting vulnerable groups including children, people living with disabilities, women, and the elderly. - Psychosocial services (PSS) team consisting of 2 PSS officers and a local volunteer from the targeted area. Services will be delivered alongside the medical services and include child friendly spaces and safe spaces for those affected. - Psychological first aid (PFA): 1 therapist/ psychologist will be conducting 1:1 therapy alongside the medical services team

Response to flooding in Mon and Kayin state, Myanmar
Myanmar was hit particularly hard this monsoon season with severe spells of heavy rains and strong winds throughout July and August (2019). This peaked week beginning 12th August with torrential monsoon rains impacting large parts of the country causing river banks to overflow, landslides, and extensive flooding. The worst landslide, in Paung Township, killed more than 70 people. Worst hit have been the states of Mon, Bago, and Kayin with displacement reached over 80,000 people. Our response - funded by START Funds - consists of targeting 17 villages in Kayin State and 7 villages in Mon state to reach approximately 12,000 people with food items to survive one month of their basic food needs. Rapid assessments have identified these villages as yet to receive sufficient supplies, and significant damage to food stocks and crops leaving families without the enough food.

Emergency food and WASH relief to flood affected areas of Sofala
Mozambique has been hit by two months of heavy rain and strong winds across various provinces causing extensive flooding and damage. This has resulted in loss of life, injury, damage to houses, destruction of key infrastructure, and displacement. This was experienced particularly badly in Sofala Province which is still recovering from last year’s unprecedented and devastating Cyclone Idai (when we first partnered with ADPP and unfortunately many of our participants from this first response have now been affected by the flooding). The impacts of the latest flooding has affected 71,000 people; an estimated 13,000 homes have been destroyed or damaged leaving affected individuals with shelter, food and NFI, protection, WASH, and health needs. The rainy season is still present (lasting until April) so further rains - or extreme weather events like cyclones - could still happen. This would exasperate the current conditions and further stretch responding authorities and agencies. More heavy rain and thunderstorms are forecast in Mozambique’s central and northern region. Our programme will support 2,900 households (14,500 individuals) with food supplies and WASH kits. These are families worst-affected by the floods - those who have been displaced and do not have any access to basic items or sources of income. With our targeting we are prioritising vulnerable groups; women (in particular pregnant women and female headed households), children, people with disabilities, older people.

Aid to support families and displaced individuals as a result of conflict in Cabo Delgado
Since late 2017, the northern province of Cabo Delgado in Mozambique has faced ongoing conflict with Islamic militant insurgency, often targeting civilians, with the intent of creating an Islamic state in the natural gas rich province. Access and humanitarian operations in the region has remained a challenge since this insurgency, with the humanitarian situation remaining acute, especially following the impact of Cyclone Kenneth April 2019, leaving 374,000 people in need, of whom an estimated 200,000 are still living in destroyed, damaged homes or makeshift shelters. Cabo Delgado remains the most vulnerable province in Mozambique with complex needs and ongoing security challenges. What has been of particular concern, however, is the surge of attacks that have been seen since March with some of the most severe attacks in May and beginning of June. The numbers of those forced to leave their homes from this conflict is growing as a result. Furthermore, existing humanitarian operations have been hampered with some temporarily halted. We targeted two districts (Montepuez and Chiure) which have experienced growing numbers of displaced people yet do not have resettlement centres or humanitarian aid distributions. This overcrowding and lack of provisions are especially concerning given that Cabo Delgado has the highest number of Covid-19 cases in the country and is currently experiencing a Cholera outbreak. Our response is aiming to reach approximately 3,000 households or 18,000 individuals with the following activities; 1. WASH needs for families, prioritising women and girls (ActionAid) 2. Awareness raising and prevention of Covid-19 (ActionAid & WJR/ADPP) 3. Distribution of essential Shelter items (ActionAid) 4. Prevention of GBV risks and protection concerns (ActionAid). 5. Immediate food needs (WJR/ADPP) 6. Medium-term food security and livelihoods (WJR/ADPP)

Rwandan Answer to Pandemic through Investment and Development (RAPID)
The project will strive to mitigate health as well as economic and social impacts of COVID‑19. It will adopt a youth-led
approach. Given that the median age of the continent is 19.7 years, youth leadership will be critical for prevention and
containment activities (World Economic Forum, 30/03/20).
SACCA will build on its 5-years’ experience of training young people and extensive community links, and establish a
community-based structure of 38 RAPID facilitators supported by 141 village communicators. Facilitators will be
recruited from SACCA’s graduates who lost employment and other active youth. They will work closely with sector and
cell leaders and identify “at-risk” groups to the virus and lockdown aftershocks (older people, people with disabilities,
informal workers, vulnerable families etc.).
The facilitators will support more than 5,000 households (at least 20,000 individuals) to adopt preventative behaviours
to protect themselves and others from COVID‑19. They will train community members in hand-washing and deliver
accurate messages as well as leaflets about the disease. The facilitators will be able to address the cultural and social
factors around risk perception and risk management. They will ensure that their message does not increase stigma and
does not deter people from reporting symptoms and seeking treatment. If facilitators come across cases that require
psycho-social or other support, they will refer those to SACCA’s professional staff.
Facilitators will distribute hygiene kits in line with WASH standards to 1,000 vulnerable households. These households
will also receive masks made by a group of tailors with hearing impairments. They will also identify 300 the most at-risk
individuals (elderly and those with comorbidities). The project will provide them with simple hand-washing station. The
facilitators will promote a stay-at-home option while helping this group with food delivery in line with updated
government’s guidelines (£21 per family of 4).
We will also aim to support 675 vulnerable people who are the most affected by the aftermath of the lockdown
(informal workers, families with large number of children etc.). In addition to information, during first 3 months, these
households will be supported with cash transfers in line with government’s guidelines. During the following 3 months,
when some informal workers will be able to restart paid work, the support will focus on 120 households to enable them
to engage in subsistence agriculture. The facilitators will also signpost any available resources from the government or
other organisations.
The project will further complement the Government’s efforts to raise community awareness on COVID-19 and
hygiene behaviours with a strong focus on the hard to reach population. It will also support 45 additional street girls in
SACCA Rehabilitation Centre.
It will also deliver essential hand-washing and other equipment to 15 health centres and 28 health posts in Kayonza
District.
1) Vulnerable individuals in 4 sectors of Kayonza District (Mukarange, Gahini, Kabarondo, Nyamirama - these are 4 out
5 sectors in the district with any urban population):
a) Older people’s households and individuals with comorbidities (300 households)
According to the latest census (NISR, 2015), there are 2,863 individuals over 70 years old in these 4 sectors.
Households with an older person seem uniformly to struggle with food scarcity.
Support: information, hand-washing station, hygiene kit, food delivery over 6 months, follow-ups
b) Informal workers’ households (425 households)
The majority of 16,962 working age urban population of 4 sectors are working informally (domestic workers, market
traders etc.). This group includes sex workers from Kayonza and Kabarondo towns who have been serving truck drivers
delivering cargo between Kigali and Tanzania.
Support: information, hygiene kit, cash transfers (month 1 – 425 households, month 2 – 300, month 3 – 200)
c) Vulnerable families with children at-risk (250 households)
SACCA has been already running a prevention programme for vulnerable families in the communities. Children in such
families are at-risk of going to the streets because of carers’ inability to provide for the most basic needs. These are
often households from Ubudehe 2 and they are not entitled for governmental support.
Support: information, hygiene kit, cash transfers for 3 months, livelihoods support for 120 families over 3 months
d) Girl street children (45)
SACCA is one of 3 centres supporting street girls in Rwanda and the only one in the Eastern Province with a
rehabilitation programme. SACCA has been contacted by the district transit centre for street children with a request to
accommodate more girls.
Support: rehabilitation in the centre, reintegration support
2) Patients of 15 health centres and 28 health posts (80,000 per month) in Kayonza district - the health facilities with be
equipped with hand-washing stations and water tanks.

Medical Assistance to Sulawesi Earthquake Survivors
During the afternoon of January 14, 2021, a 5.9 magnitude earthquake struck West Sulawesi province near the cities of Majene and Mamuju. Hours later, this initial earthquake was followed by a more powerful 6.2 magnitude earthquake in the early hours of January 15. In the aftermath of the earthquakes, initial reports indicate that 20,448 people have been directly affected, 91 people have died, 3 people are missing, 253 people were seriously injured, 240 people were moderately injured, and 679 people were slightly injured. In addition, there are an estimated 9,390 displaced persons. The earthquakes also caused significant damage to buildings and public infrastructure, and obscured road access and transportation.
With health facilities and infrastructure damaged, and access to farther afield medical services limited due to widespread displacement, the crisis has had a significant impact on affected individuals as it pertains to health and health services. As many affected individuals and families are unable to access health services, they are at risk of not receiving appropriate medical treatment following the earthquakes or having pre-existing medical conditions worsen due to not having access to medical practitioners or basic medication.
Project:
This proposed project and response will address the lack of available general medical services and psychological services for those affected by the West Sulawesi earthquakes. Following a rapid needs assessment conducted by our local partner, IBU Foundation, we are proposing to target 1,250 unique individuals to benefit by providing them with access to general medical services, psychological first aid (PFA), and psychosocial support.
The general medical services will be provided by medical practitioners and a mobile medical unit that is equipped to offer primary health services and medicine. The mobile medical unit will have the capacity to prescribe basic medication. For those that have health conditions that extend beyond the capacity of the mobile medical unit team, the health practitioners will refer them to appropriate medical centres or hospitals. The proposed project’s general medical services will attempt to reach 1,250 individuals.
Psychological first aid activities will be administered by PFA specialists, and the proposed project will consist of assistance for displaced individuals that can support individuals and communities to heal the psychological wounds and rebuild social structures after an emergency or a critical event. PFA activities will aim to reach 100 total individuals.
Finally, the proposed project’s psychosocial support activities will attempt to reach the same 1,250 individuals reached by the general medical services and focus on developing participants resilience. To provide psychosocial support, our local partner offers activities that include exploration of emotions and feelings to help aid fear and distress, developing one’s emotional regulation, building up one’s independence, as well as other activities.
All activities will be conducted by trained, accredited, and registered professionals. Our local partner, IBU Foundation, has access to relevant medical networks and connections with medical practitioners. All actions, including the proposed general medical services, PFA, and Psychosocial Services, are based on SPHERE standard for Health Action and IASC for filling basic service needs. Practically, this means that medical services will not be serving more than 50 patients a day. The supply of medicines and medical equipment will be in accordance with the regulatory standards. The services of PFA and PSS will also be in accordance with these standards.

Helping schools in Manica and Sofala to prevent the spread of COVID-19
In response to the initial spread of COVID-19, the Government of Mozambique closed both public and private schools on the 23rd of March 2020. This decision affected a total of 8.5 million children. Schools are currently scheduled to open in February 2021. While the initial disruption to children’s education has been significant, there is the possibility for further disruption if schools are unable to meet the COVID-19 safety standards prior to opening. If schools do not have adequate COVID-19 mitigation procedures and equipment in place they will be prevented from opening, thus potentially further disrupting children's education.
While the COVID-19 pandemic has presented difficulties and unique challenges to the entire population of Mozambique, communities that were still recovering from previous natural disasters have been especially affected by COVID-19. In particular, a number of communities in Sofala and Manica provinces were severely impacted by Cyclone Idai in 2019, a devastating cyclone that wreaked massive destruction and resulted in the sustained disruption for the region’s livelihoods and educational infrastructure (we responded to this at the time). Over a year after Cyclone Idai and at the outset of the COVID-19 pandemic, Sofala and Manica were still home to 20 of the most neglected resettlement sites and surrounding areas. In these areas, families were still struggling to rebuild, recover their livelihoods, and renew their children’s education. Inevitably, the COVID-19 crisis made an already difficult situation for displaced communities in Sofala and Manica even worse. The tertiary impacts of the pandemic, specifically the shutting down of schools which further disrupted children’s education and families’ livelihood opportunities, have been devastating and require immediate steps to be taken to prevent the situations from worsening. It is undoubtedly true that these secondary impacts of the COVID-19 crisis are felt throughout Mozambique, however, the impacts have been magnified in Sofala and Manica provinces where the communities were already struggling to recover economically and educationally in the aftermath of Cyclone Idai.
Project:
This proposed project and response will address two clear issues in Sofala and Manica provinces: the disruption of children’s education and the disruption of livelihoods for vulnerable families. Following assessments of needs and markets, we are proposing to target 1,600 households (8,000 individuals) to benefit by providing schools with the necessary items to properly and regularly sanitise classrooms, carry out sensitisation and awareness campaigns on COVID-19 prevention measures that involve for students and their families, installing water tanks and handwashing apparatuses at schools, and providing agricultural livelihood inputs for particularly in-need families. The project will target beneficiaries in Sofala and Manica provinces whose education and livelihoods were severely disrupted by Cyclone Idai and then further disrupted by the arrival of the COVID-19, compounding their already difficult circumstances. Special attention will be placed on ensuring that girls especially will be returning to schools after this disruption, as we know from previous epidemics that enrolment rates for girls dropped as increased rates of poverty, household responsibilities, child labour, early marriage and teenage pregnancy prevented many girls from returning to school.
The COVID-19 safety packs will contain the following for each school administration:
- 100 boxes of soap x 12
- 5 buckets with taps 100L each
- 4 sprayers for each school to disinfect the classroom
-5 Two thermometers
Regarding livelihood support, this project will target the most vulnerable and in-need families of school-age children to provide with agricultural livelihood inputs, which predominantly includes women headed families. These inputs will allow families in need to begin to provide for their children a source of sustenance and potential income. The agricultural livelihood inputs will include mixed seeds (maize, beans, and vegetables) and hoes.
Lastly, due to the heightened risk of Gender Based Violence (GBV) and protection issues in the communities, we will involve the training of community activists on GBV issues, including a referral system to protect, defend and report cases in the target areas. In addition, at all distributions and activities, we will be distributing leaflets and conducting mass sensitisation campaigns highlight the risks of GBV, how to protect oneself, and how to report/respond to incidents.

Humanitarian Response to Floods Emergency in Colombia - START Fund
The AbbaCol Foundation and World Jewish relief teamed up to deploy 1,500 food aid supplies in the region due to the current season of heavy rains in the Region, also known as "La Niña", flooding and overflowing rivers have left communities with various damages and losses to their homes and critical infrastructure, as well as their livelihoods. The continuous flooding left a situation where thousands of people have seen their communities damaged bit by bit. However, it was in the second week of July that four dams burst, causing the peak of the crisis. According to information provided by the Governorate of Bolivar in its "Registry of Victims" (16 July 2022) more than 13,000 houses have been partially damaged, 50 houses have been destroyed, 18 health centres have restricted service and access, and 2,328.5 hectares of crops have been lost. According to the UNGRD, approximately 30,000 people have been registered as victims of this crisis, and 50,000 are still waiting to be registered. Most (if not all) of them are economically vulnerable households.
The area covered by this alert is located in the middle of 3 sub-basins formed by the Magdalena River (Colombia's main river), Chicagua and Mompox. It is also known as the Mojana region in Colombia, and is constantly and heavily affected by flooding during the rainy season, due to its hydrography and topography. Due to flooding in the communities, the red alert and humanitarian needs in terms of food security and nutrition, health, water, sanitation and hygiene have increased. People who lost their homes or had severe damage are staying with relatives or neighbours. Although this has been occurring since the second quarter of the year, local governments have been forced to declare a state of emergency throughout June and July, in the hope of resolving and the pressing needs of those most in need.
AbbaCol Foundation and World Jewish Relief arrived in the affected area to coordinate with local and national authorities the humanitarian deployment to reach the affected areas. Both entities are responding to life-saving needs, especially food insecurity and desnutrition needs.
