Safe water continued to flow through daily distributions, system maintenance, and ongoing water quality testing across shelters and camps.
At Casa Lulu, we repaired deteriorating electrical connections and sourced materials for an upcoming bathroom upgrade. Construction also began on a new concrete courtyard, home to the shelter’s kitchen and community space, to improve safety and reduce flooding.
In Tapachula:
We continued to distribute hygiene and sanitation supplies at all sites, with a special focus on menstrual and child hygiene kits.
At Belén Shelter, we provided daily drinking water after the onsite water system broke. Until repairs are complete, bottled water is distributed during meals, with jugs available for cooking and personal use. We also began repairing the kitchen sink drains to restore basic hygiene infrastructure.

This month, we were invited to join Tapachula’s Protection Cluster, strengthening coordination with humanitarian partners to advance rights-based support for vulnerable groups, especially women, children, and LGBTQ+ migrants.
This partnership helps us pool resources, improve our response, and deepen our multidisciplinary approach to public health.
🌱 Things We’re Excited About
