How to rebuild after a disaster? Read on.

Rebuilding after disaster takes courage, fortitude, and resolve. Also a fair bit of generosity and selflessness.In today鈥檚 Daily, people exhibit heaping helpings of those qualities across several countries. In the Canary Islands, where a volcano destroyed thousands of buildings in 2021, people are learning what it means to rebuild not just houses, but homes.In Nigeria, a program bringing clean water to people鈥檚 homes was saved by a woman in California determined to preserve whatever she could from the abrupt shuttering of the U.S. Agency for International Development. Caitlin Tulloch acts as an aid matchmaker, putting foundations and their money together with the best thinking and hard work to improve people鈥檚 lives.As the mayor of Los Llanos de Aridane told Colette Davidson in our Canary Islands story, 鈥淓very day is better than the day before.鈥� But, he adds, it takes patience.
