This is amazing. A wonderful recognition for an INGO which actually introduced the idea of community based disaster risk management long before the calamitous earthquake of 2005 occured which actually opened many closed eyes in the public and proviate sector.
Good work FOCUS and keep making wonders in a bid to promote disaster resilient communities!!!
