Sumario:This paper intends to present two experiences of psychosocial accompaniment that were carried out in the province of Manabí, Ecuador in the next months following the earthquake of April 16, 2016. The first one takes place in the neighborhood Ebony in Jama and the second in the neighborhood Los Cañonazos in Portoviejo. In both cases, the accompaniment is aimed to the strengthening of the community organization, which reveals the perverse effects associated with disasters, such as land concentration or environmental discrimination. The phases: contact establishment, activities, methodology and conclusions are described, from a perspective of collective health and human rights.
