First report in Algeria - CODE

Since an earthquake occurred in Algeria on 23 June 2003, CODE dispatched a staff, who is a leader of Mexican NGO, to assess the situation of the stricken area. He was in Algeria from June 14th to July 7th. He has developed a project to assist children who are victims of the earthquake with local NGO. Since there are so many children, CODE will focus on the children in need. Therefore, the priority is given to the children who need most assistance. CODE will work for 300 children in two months.
First, the project will be started in the Boumerdes region, where is the most affected area. The program includes psychological, pedagogical and cultural activities as well as sports and leisure activities.

Next, it will work for children in the Wilaya of Algers where is one of the most affected areas like Regahia and Rouiba. Then, it will work in the region of Bourd Menjaiel, near the Tizi-Ouzo region, in the Kabilian zone.

CODE seeks the most effective way to support disaster victims in the area.
