Richland Center - Santa Teresa Sister City Project
SPECIAL APPEAL, November 2020
The torrential rains that accompanied Hurricane Iota brought floods and disaster to Santa Teresa’s Chacocente Wildlife Refuge villages. Homes were destroyed, crops damaged, and roads obliterated. In three communities along the Escalante River, 78 homes were badly damaged. A mother and four children in one village lost their lives when they were carried away in a raging river. There is immediate need for food, water, shelter, mattresses, bed linens, and kitchen utensils. More details and photos can be found on our Facebook Page. We’re asking your help for our relief efforts. Go to our Donation Page to contribute.
The Richland Center – Santa Teresa Sister City Project was established to promote people-to-people relationships between Richland Center, Wisconsin, and the municipality of Santa Teresa in Nicaragua. Most of our contributions go toward projects in health and sanitation, environmental protection, sea turtle conservation, education and agricultural sustainability in the Chacocente Wildlife Refuge region.
