PAKISTAN FLOOD AUG 2010: Belgis' story: Eight months and maybe some more days. Donate to CARE's relief efforts: link.

(Note: CARE knows that no single event, however extreme, can be attributed to global warming. However, floods like the one in Pakistan, are exactly the kind of events that scientists project to become more frequent as the earth's temperature continues to rise. The last two months' confluence of events suggests just how brutal future climate change might be.)

PROJECT STORY - Primeiras e Segundas: Making Two Worlds One
CARE and WWF launched the Primeiras & Segundas Livelihoods Project in northern Mozambique in 2008. Now in its third year, the project is working to conserve and improve the fragile ecosystem of the Primeiras and Segundas archipelago, while strengthening the livelihoods of the communities that depend on the area's marine and terrestrial resources. The Primeiras & Segundas Project is made possible by a generous grant from the Sall Family Foundation, with additional support from The Nature Conservancy, DIPECHO, and CARE Denmark.
