SHELTERING DISPLACED NGABE-BUGLÉ FAMILIES (Panamá)
In July 2021, we received an urgent call for help from a Ngäbe-Buglé community in the Tabasará River area, which is part of their indigenous autonomous territory (Comarca). Many families, including elders and kids, have been forcibly moved, while their homes have been burned or bulldozed down.
We are building temporary shelters for 83 people who are living rough on the muddy ground, under tarps in heavy tropical rain. More resources are needed to provide shelters, facilities and other basic necessities for these struggling indigenous families.
