Rebuilding communities affected by 8.2 earthquake
Organization information
Cooperación Comunitaria A.C.
Location: Ciudad de Mexico, Mexico
Summary
After a magnitude 8.2 earthquake in the south of Mexico, more than 60,000 houses were damaged in Oaxaca state. In response, we developed a project with communities of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec region, that includes reconstruction of housing, kitchens and ovens; by recovering traditional knowledge and techniques and reinforcing the dwellings against earthquakes and strong winds. All the people involved in construction also participate in the reforestation project.
