Most
of the activities undertaken by the Belize Red
Cross can be divided into two groups. Firstly there
are the ones which are about health and community
care which include an HIV and AIDS peer education project (Together We
Can), First Aid training and services, Home Health Care training, Diabetes
and Blood Pressure screening and education, Social Welfare clubs for older
persons, soup kitchen and meals provision to school children.
The second group of activities are about disaster
management and include coordination with the Government’s
National Emergency Management Organisation, Vulnerability
and Capacity Assessment (VCA) projects and relief
to victims of fires, floods and other natural disasters. |
