Hope at Home: Building Resilience in Central America<\/span><\/h1>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Addressing the root causes of forced migration<\/h2>\n

In recent years, forced migration from Central America has become a crisis that needs to be urgently addressed. People, including unaccompanied children, are on the move to find opportunities to thrive outside their home countries. Addressing the root causes of forced migration is at the core of World Vision’s work in Central America.<\/p>\n

Forced migration results from various factors and interacting risks that place individuals at sudden or chronic status of high vulnerability, in which their life and well-being are at stake. Children and youth—especially girls and young women—are vulnerable to such fragility, putting them at high risk of violence and mistreatment.<\/p>\n

To address these risks and vulnerabilities, World Vision has designed the Hope at Home: Building Resilience in Central America framework, which aims to address the root causes of forced migration by building resilience at the individual, family, community, and societal levels. It fortifies existing capabilities to help people in Central America adapt and transform their responses to shocks, enabling an ability to absorb them and recover. The frame-work proposes a different way to tackle root causes and risks that threaten years of development gains in the region. See the framework to the left and read more about it in the resources below.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image source=”external_link” external_img_size=”medium” alignment=”right” onclick=”custom_link” img_link_target=”_blank” alt=”Click to enlarge” custom_src=”https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/images\/hope-at-home-graphic-min.jpg” link=”https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/images\/hope-at-home-graphic.jpg” css=”.vc_custom_1623441865844{margin-top: 35px !important;}”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_text_separator size=”h2″ title=”Hear from our experts” color=”wv-black”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_video link=”https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=l7845Nx8ygI”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
