MESSAGE FROM LEADERSHIP<br />
When <strong>CORE</strong> jumped into the unknown space<br />
of testing in the beginning of the COVID-19<br />
pandemic, it was with the intention of providing<br />
this life-saving essential service for a few months.<br />
As time progressed, it was apparent that <strong>CORE</strong>’s<br />
COVID-19 relief could not stop, nor delay but<br />
instead expand and rapidly evolve to provide<br />
contact tracing, resource coordination, isolation<br />
shelters, and cash cards to mothers. Soon, we<br />
found ourselves providing the highest number of<br />
tests and vaccines at the largest testing site in the<br />
world at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles.<br />
In continued response to the COVID-19 pandemic,<br />
we furthered mobilization efforts in communities<br />
alongside local partners in 10 U.S. states and in<br />
Haiti, Brazil, and India. In <strong>2021</strong> alone, our staff<br />
administered nearly 2 million tests and 2.8 million<br />
vaccines and provided over 1,000 households with<br />
resource coordination. We listened, learned, and<br />
broadened our COVID-19 relief program to equip<br />
marginalized and vulnerable communities with the<br />
resources needed to protect themselves from the<br />
devastation of the virus.<br />
These most challenging times of <strong>2021</strong> were<br />
exacerbated by natural disasters. <strong>CORE</strong> responded<br />
to major climate disasters, including Hurricane<br />
Ida in New Orleans, Hurricane Dorian in The<br />
Bahamas, rare winter tornadoes in Tennessee and<br />
Kentucky, and a 7.2 magnitude earthquake in Haiti<br />
that produced a wide array of security challenges.<br />
<strong>CORE</strong> mobilized to do what we do best: provide<br />
support during the greatest times of need, quickly.<br />
Our locally fueled teams distributed over 16,000<br />
hygiene kits and provided over 11,500 families<br />
with cash assistance through vouchers and cash<br />
for work programs, and removed six football fields of debris stacked 10 feet high. In Haiti, we provided<br />
mobile health care and supported the main hospital in the South. We repaired water systems and ensured<br />
thousands of Haitians were able to return safely into their homes by tarping and repairing homes.<br />
It is now mid 2022, as we write this letter, and we have moved into even more complex crises. The illegal<br />
invasion by Russia into Ukraine, displacing millions, called on our organization’s ability to respond quickly.<br />
<strong>CORE</strong> took its lessons on the ground in COVID-19 in different countries and cities, and shape shifted quickly<br />
to provide emergency relief to thousands of displaced persons, through shelter support, water, fuel, food,<br />
blankets, hygiene kits and everything in between. We continue to expand our programs on behalf of both<br />
IDPs in Ukraine, refugees in Poland and Romania, supporting integration for the displaced with longer term<br />
programming and reconstruction. Our commitment is to support these large scale crises from disasters, to<br />
conflicts, and beyond. We are humbled and grateful for your support and trust to continue this work. It is<br />
your passion and dedication that enables <strong>CORE</strong> to remain agile and actualize during evolving landscapes<br />
of crisis. Your generosity and care for underserved communities continue to inspire hope for what we can<br />
accomplish together.<br />
On behalf of all those we serve, we thank you for your steadfast support.<br />
With gratitude,<br />

POINTS OF DISTINCTION<br />
To help address the gap in global healthcare<br />
as the pandemic continued to devastate<br />
vulnerable communities, <strong>CORE</strong> expanded its<br />
COVID-19 relief efforts to Brazil, Haiti, India,<br />
and Puerto Rico. By the end of <strong>2021</strong>, <strong>CORE</strong><br />
had surpassed 6 million tests and 2 million<br />
vaccines administered in marginalized<br />
communities around the world.<br />
When Hurricane Ida made landfall in<br />
Louisiana on August 29, <strong>CORE</strong>’s regional<br />
teams responded to provide direct support<br />
to households in the most impacted<br />
communities in NOLA’s historically<br />
underserved parishes with $65,000 worth<br />
of supplies, 2,000 hot meals, and more<br />
through continual home visits.<br />
To reach the city’s most vulnerable<br />
populations, <strong>CORE</strong> launched a vaccination<br />
awareness and acceptance campaign, “It’s<br />
Time Los Angeles,” alongside community<br />
leaders to help eliminate barriers and<br />
vaccine inequity among the hardest hit<br />
communities, including Latino, Black,<br />
and Asian American and Pacific Islander<br />
populations.<br />
With more than 14,000 migrants living in<br />
squalid conditions beneath the Del Rio<br />
International Bridge, <strong>CORE</strong> mobilized<br />
quickly in September to Del Rio, Texas, to<br />
protect Haitian migrants from COVID-19 and<br />
improve living conditions with food, hygiene<br />
kits, essential resources, and PPE, as they<br />
awaited processing at the U.S. border.<br />
Two years after Hurricane Dorian<br />
devastated The Bahamas, leaving 70,000<br />
people homeless and destroying local<br />
infrastructure, <strong>CORE</strong>’s recovery efforts<br />
continued in <strong>2021</strong>. In addition to community<br />
infrastructure efforts, <strong>CORE</strong> has distributed<br />
$800,000 in grants to 168 local businesses,<br />
83 of which are female-led.<br />
To meet the ever-growing demands of<br />
COVID-19 and support the communities who<br />
needed relief the most, <strong>CORE</strong> scaled up<br />
from less than 10 headquarters employees in<br />
March of 2020 to 2,500 staff by May of <strong>2021</strong>.<br />
<strong>CORE</strong>’s Haitian expert disaster relief staff were cleaning debris<br />
within hours of the devastating 7.2-magnitude earthquake on<br />
August 14 in Haiti, and was one of the first organizations on the<br />
ground in the Sud Department providing emergency medical<br />
support, debris removal, essential resources, and hygiene &<br />
shelter kits. By the end of <strong>2021</strong>, <strong>CORE</strong> had removed 83,000 m³<br />
of debris and cleared 21 km of roads.

JEANETTE TERREBONNE<br />
“I’ve lived in Cut Off my entire<br />
life. It’s a unique little town. It’s<br />
country. This is home to me.”<br />
Jeannette Terrebonne was born and raised in Cut Off, Louisiana. “I have my family, I have<br />
church family, I have meeting families, homemaker families, bible group... Each little group is a<br />
family to me, so I will never move from here,” she shared. This small fishing town that stretches<br />
along Louisiana Highway 1 obtained its unique name by early settlers that established a canal<br />
cutoff to connect Bayou Lafourche to New Orleans to make travel easier. Cut Off is in a very<br />
high-risk hurricane zone, with nearly 70 hurricanes recorded hitting the area since 1930.<br />
Coinciding with the 16th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, Hurricane Ida’s 170 mph winds tore<br />
through Cut Off on August 29, <strong>2021</strong>.<br />
Jeanette toughed it out in her home and quite literally weathered the storm throughout<br />
Category 4 Hurricane Ida. She lost eight windows, her cars, and her roof suffered severe<br />
damage. Jeanette had to live in her bathroom for weeks following Ida because the rest of her<br />
home had been infested by black mold.

“When y’all came in, I was talking on the<br />
phone and I said, ‘I have three angels<br />
who just showed up on my porch.’ That’s<br />
how I felt. I believe in angels. Y’all are<br />
angels, working to help other people in<br />
need. Thank you so much.”<br />
“I’ve been through Katrina, Rita before that,<br />
and Betsy, but nothing compared to this.<br />
Nothing. I’ve never seen it this bad. It was<br />
terrible,” she said.<br />
and began mobilizing in the hardest-hit<br />
parishes: Lafourche, Terrebonne, Saint<br />
John the Baptist, Saint Charles, Orleans,<br />
and Saint Bernard.<br />
When asked if she was afraid, Jeanette<br />
explained she had no time to think of fear.<br />
“That wind started blowing and we had<br />
rain pouring in the house and all we could<br />
do was empty buckets and mop. And<br />
then when the windows started popping,<br />
that was terrifying. I just put my hands up<br />
and said, ‘It’s out of our hands now.’ I just<br />
prayed for God to help us. He always sees<br />
me through difficulties, and that was a<br />
difficult time. I had five people in here with<br />
me. I’m just thankful that no one was hurt,”<br />
she said.<br />
<strong>CORE</strong>’s New Orleans team responded<br />
immediately after Hurricane Ida, launching<br />
a mobile resource team to supply<br />
homeowners with essential resources,<br />
such as hygiene kits, cleaning supplies,<br />
tarping materials, and school bags. With<br />
the support of local communities, <strong>CORE</strong><br />
emergency response teams identified<br />
From there, <strong>CORE</strong>’s Muck and Gut team<br />
activated their program, removing debris<br />
and non-salvageable items from homes<br />
that have been severely damaged and<br />
exposed to flooding during the disaster.<br />
The muck and gut process is a critical<br />
first step in rebuilding any facility once<br />
it’s weathered a storm.<br />
“When y’all came in, I was talking on the<br />
phone and I said, ‘I have three angels<br />
who just showed up on my porch.’ That’s<br />
how I felt. I believe in angels. Y’all are<br />
angels, working to help other people in<br />
need. Thank you so much,” Jeanette said.<br />
<strong>CORE</strong>’s New Orleans team spent a week<br />
gutting every inch of the mold-infested<br />
drywall and furniture from Jeanette’s home<br />
so she could have a clean foundation<br />
to rebuild and finally move out of her<br />
bathroom and back into normalcy.

PIERRE PELIGE<br />
“People didn’t know what was<br />
going on. Homes were shaking<br />
and collapsing. We had heard<br />
about earthquakes, but never<br />
experienced one.”<br />
Within hours of the 7.2- magnitude earthquake that shook Haiti’s southern coast on August 14,<br />
<strong>2021</strong>, <strong>CORE</strong> activated its emergency response program to address the most urgent needs of the<br />
communities hit hardest by the disaster.<br />
For <strong>CORE</strong>, (formerly J/P HRO), Haiti is at the heart of our organization, as our mission began in<br />
response to the horrific 2010 earthquake that devastated the nation’s capital. After over a decade<br />
of work in the country, this moment felt very much like déjà vu. As a result of the initial quake and<br />
five subsequent 5.0+ magnitude aftershocks, an estimated 73,000 homes were destroyed and<br />
46,000 suffered damages. Conservative estimates tell us that 2,248 Haitians lost their lives as a<br />
result of this tragedy.<br />
“Everybody was crying because they didn’t know what was going on. All the houses collapsed.<br />
... We saw houses collapsed on people. We were afraid and didn’t know what to do. People died;<br />
cattle died. All our belongings were destroyed,” Pierre said.<br />
<strong>CORE</strong> immediately leveraged its field team, logistical capacity, partnerships, and previous<br />
earthquake expertise to help Haiti meet this moment of crisis. After witnessing the world around,<br />
him collapse, including the walls of his own home, Pierre Pelige registered with <strong>CORE</strong> community<br />
mobilizers to join the Cash for Work team.<br />
Born and raised in Grand’Anse, Pierre was determined to help his community get back on its feet.<br />
<strong>CORE</strong> Cash for Work staff are comprised of individuals from heavily impacted communities who<br />
take on short-term relief work, both in the wake of disaster and throughout crisis recovery. Along<br />
with <strong>CORE</strong> debris removal experts and engineers, Pierre supported individuals in Sud by picking<br />
up the pieces of what was left of their homes following the earthquake.<br />
“We saw houses collapsed on people. We were afraid<br />
and didn’t know what to do. People died; cattle died.<br />
All our belongings were destroyed.”

Pierre cleared out the wreckage of his own home with the debris removal team’s support.<br />
The money he earned by helping others do the same was an essential first step for his family<br />
to rebuild.<br />
In addition to launching the Cash for Work program, <strong>CORE</strong> relief teams installed tarps on<br />
damaged homes for emergency shelter. Pierre’s home was also pre-identified to benefit from<br />
temporary shelter repair. Like many families in the area, after the earthquake hit, Pierre’s had<br />
been living under the shelter of the detached kitchen area common to rural Haitian homes.<br />
Having a tarp over their heads allowed him, his wife, and their three children to move back to<br />
the house proper. Coming up on the end of rainy season, he said that the tarp will help keep<br />
him and his family dry.<br />
“The team came and gave us all their support. A big thanks to <strong>CORE</strong> for all they have<br />
done for the commune. A big thanks for the debris removal because we couldn’t do it by<br />
ourselves. It is the support of the team that makes change happen,” Pierre said.

IASMIN CABRAL<br />
“The nurse I am<br />
today is because<br />
of <strong>CORE</strong>.”<br />
With limited government resources to respond to the<br />
pandemic in Brazil, COVID-19 vaccines could not come<br />
fast enough for those that needed protection most. As<br />
of December <strong>2021</strong>, 619,334 lives have been lost in Brazil<br />
from the virus, with 22.28 million cases, surpassing the<br />
U.S. in deaths due to COVID-19 per capita.<br />
In Rio de Janeiro, the virus wreaked a devastating toll. For<br />
Iasmin Cabral, a nurse hopeful, her immunocompromised<br />
parents were at the center of her concern.<br />
Iasmin grew up in a lower income community in<br />
Rio de Janeiro’s north zone. When the first wave<br />
of COVID-19 hit in March 2020, Iasmin was in her<br />
last semester of nursing school. The pandemic<br />
caused a wave of economic hardship in Brazil,<br />
and for Iasmin, financial insecurity meant a hard<br />
stop to taking her licensing exam and completing<br />
her certification.<br />
On top of putting her dreams on hold, Iasmin<br />
was unable to live with her parents due to their<br />
high health risk and finding work to continue to<br />
support her family became her highest priority.<br />
When <strong>CORE</strong> started working in Rio de Janeiro<br />
in April <strong>2021</strong>, Iasmin jumped at the opportunity<br />
to work in COVID-19 relief. Originally joining the<br />
team at <strong>CORE</strong>’s vaccine site at Portela Samba<br />
School as a scribe, Iasmin was able to save<br />
enough over the course of a few months to take<br />
her nursing licensing exam and get back on track<br />
to pursuing her dreams.<br />
When she passed, <strong>CORE</strong> immediately promoted<br />
her to a vaccinator. “<strong>CORE</strong> opened the door for<br />
me. I was finally able to start my professional<br />
career,” she said.<br />
For the first time in over a year, Iasmin was able to<br />
hug her parents after vaccinating them herself.<br />
Iasmin had the opportunity to work at several<br />
<strong>CORE</strong> sites across Rio and participate in special<br />
campaigns to vaccinate entire favelas.<br />
In Brazil, vaccines could only be accessed in<br />
public health clinics, which became extremely<br />
impacted by a huge demand and little supply.<br />
“<strong>CORE</strong>’s work helped so much to relieve the<br />
local health clinics and allow them to function<br />
“I am so grateful for<br />
each patient that I<br />
was able vaccinate.<br />
Each exchange<br />
that we had, every<br />
word said from<br />
tears of happiness<br />
and smiles was<br />
the most priceless<br />
experience.”<br />
normally. I am so grateful to have been<br />
a part of this extremely important work,<br />
which so greatly impacted people’s access<br />
to vaccines in needed areas around Rio,”<br />
Iasmin said.<br />
By the end of the vaccine campaign, with<br />
the help of Iasmin and local staff, <strong>CORE</strong><br />
administered nearly 420,000 vaccines in<br />
some of the most vulnerable areas in Rio<br />
de Janeiro.
