Venezuela Earthquake Appeal
Help provide life-saving assistance to families affected by the Venezuela earthquakes
In June, two powerful earthquakes devastated communities across north-central Venezuela, leaving families grieving the loss of loved ones, displaced from their homes and in urgent need of humanitarian assistance.
Homes, schools and health facilities were damaged or destroyed, forcing families from their homes and disrupting access to clean water, food, healthcare and other essential services.
Please give today to help provide life-saving assistance through trusted local organisations already responding on the ground.
Local organisations are already responding
When disasters strike, local people are always the first to respond.
Through the ACT Alliance, Act for Peace is supporting the humanitarian response in Venezuela, working through organisations with established relationships and experience in affected communities.
Emergency assistance is being provided, including food, clean water and sanitation, healthcare, shelter, and mental health and psychosocial support. As communities begin to recover, this established local presence will continue to be important in ensuring support responds to people’s needs.
“ACT Alliance was in these communities long before the earthquakes. We are there today. And we will stay, for as long as it takes."
As rescue efforts continue, local organisations are also preparing to expand their response, including emergency medical care, mental health support and assistance for families beginning the long process of recovery.
Help communities recover
Every gift helps equip trusted local organisations with the resources they need to respond quickly and effectively.
- Your support can help provide:
- Emergency food and clean water
- Emergency shelter and essential household items
- Primary healthcare and first aid
- Mental health and psychosocial support
- Assistance for families as they begin the long road to recovery
Please donate today to help provide life-saving assistance and support communities on the long road to recovery.
The immediate emergency response is underway, but recovery will take time. Your support can help communities in Venezuela meet urgent needs and continue on the longer road to recovery.
