📢 RESILIENCE TUESDAY HIGHLIGHTS!
In flood-prone Fatudere, waiting for the rain to stop is no longer the plan. Through the Disaster READY project, CARE in Timor-Lestel has been working with the community to turn fear into action through emergency evacuation simulations.
What’s most impressive is the ownership. From local youth groups managing communication to health volunteers leading first aid demonstrations, the village has built a system where everyone has a role. Special care is prioritized for pregnant women and people with disabilities, ensuring the village’s promise that "no one is left behind."
