The project is focused on neglected areas that have received little or no humanitarian assistance at all. This mainly includes rural areas, peri-urban communities, and communities with indigenous population, which were the most affected. The operations will address the immediate needs for water, hygiene, shelter, and non-food items of more than 21,000 people who have been displaced by the storms, many of whom have lost their homes, livelihoods or are living with family members. In addition, protection activities are also implemented to ensure that families have sufficient information and access to key services and rights.

All project activities will be coordinated with government institutions, partner organizations that address humanitarian matters in the country, and municipal and local authorities. This is made with the purpose of ensuring that the people get the assistance needed in a timely, responsible, and participatory manner. The project will also integrate protective measures through a transversal work approach to reduce sexual abuse and violence in family settings or shelters; and it will enhance resilience to through psychosocial supporting activities.
