Durante este periodo de la intervención (de marzo a junio de 2020), y derivado de una serie de factores externos, fue necesario modificar tanto las actividades como los resultados planteados en la implementación del proyecto.

Contingencia sanitaria

En México, fue en marzo cuando se presentó un aumento escalonado de los casos positivos del virus SARS-CoV-2, lo cual provocó que se establecieran medidas de distanciamiento social y confinamiento en hogares para evitar la propagación.

Esto provocó un fuerte golpe en la economía de las familias de las beneficiarias de este proyecto, pues por un lado, varios miembros de sus familias (que aportaban con un ingreso), perdieron sus empleos por los recortes realizados tanto en la iniciativa privada como en el sector gubernamental. Por otro lado, ante la caída de la demanda de sus productos y el aislamiento de algunas comunidades, fue casi imposible lograr establecer canales de comunicación para la venta de sus productos.

Como medida de emergencia ante esta situación, Educampo realizó tres actividades esenciales:

1 – Levantamiento de información de las 276 beneficiarias para conocer su situación y planear las medidas a implementar.

2 – Capacitación en línea y a distancia.

3 – Gestión y entrega de despensas para las familias afectadas, que les permite satisfacer sus necesidades básicas inmediatas.

Tormenta tropical Cristóbal

En la primera semana de junio, la tormenta Cristóbal afectó a comunidades del sur de México. En Campeche y Yucatán, cerca del 90% de las beneficiarias tuvieron algún tipo de pérdida material, la mayoría sufrió: casas inundadas, materiales dañados en los talleres, pérdidas de los meliponarios y/o muerte de sus abejas.

Para ayudar a las beneficiarias, el equipo de Educampo estableció Centros de Acopio en las oficinas de campo, logrando la entrega de despensas, ropa y artículos de limpieza.

Para superar las consecuencias de ambos fenómenos, todos los donativos recibidos a través de la plataforma GlobalGiving durante junio y julio se destinarán exclusivamente para la adquisición de insumos para la producción.

-----------------

During this period (March-June 2020), as result of external factors, it was necessary modify the activities and the results proposed in the implementation of the project.

Coronavirus

In Mexico, it was in March when there was a gradual increase in the positive cases of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. This led to the implementation of social distancing and home confinement measures to prevent the spread.

This caused a strong blow to the economy of the families of the beneficiaries: on the one hand, several members of their families (who contributed with an income), lost their jobs due to cuts made both in the private sector and in the government sector. On the other hand, given the lack of demand for their products and the isolation of some communities, it was almost impossible to establish communication channels for the sale of their products.

As an emergency measure in this situation, Educampo carried out three essential activities:

1 - Mapping of cases of the 276 beneficiaries to find out their situation and plan the measures to be implemented.

2 - Online and distance training.

3 - Management and delivery of food for affected families, which allows them to meet their basic needs.

Tropical storm Christopher

In the first week of June, the storm Cristóbal affected communities in southern Mexico. In Campeche and Yucatan, nearly 90% of the beneficiaries had some kind of material loss, the majority suffered: flooded houses, damaged materials in the workshops, loss of the meliponarios or death of their bees.

To help the beneficiaries, the Educampo team established Collection Centers in the field offices, achieving the delivery of pantries, clothes and cleaning supplies.

To overcome the consequences of both phenomena, all donations received through the GlobalGiving platform during June and July will be used exclusively for the acquisition of inputs for production.
