“Kay Nou”, the Central Operation Base of Viva Rio in Bel Air has been deeply affected by the earthquake: buildings were not destroyed but they were damaged. They need urgent  repair to become operational again.  The internal area of Kay Nou (25.000m2) has absorbed over 2.000 people looking for rescue. It has been transformed into a de facto refugee camp, which has various implications. In cooperation with the local community leaders, the Government and the UN agencies, Viva Rio has been called to lead recovery efforts in the area, with special attention to 12 sites, with over 30.000 people without shelter, water or food. These efforts include shelter (tents), water (about 300.000 liters/day, an average of 10 liters/person/day), latrines (they are building 600 latrines, on average one latrine/50 people), build 6 bio digesters that can produce methane gas, health services, psycho educational work for children and youth, coordinating “cash for work” initiatives , expanding the numbers of people engaged in the solid waste collection program, cleaning up canals and underground galleries and the collection and recycling of rubble. To live up to these tasks, Viva Rio faces important logistic challenges: repairs to recover the physical infrastructure; reorganizing to preserve management capacity, which includes opening a new central management space, outside Kay Nou that has become too crowded with people and immediate needs; maintaining and improving communications. These needs are not usually covered by funders organized in the emergency clusters and yet they are essential for managing the work now and into the rebuilding period. This request invites FOMIN to cover a fundamental aspect of the organizational capacity of Viva Rio.
