Venezuela Earthquake Appeal
Help provide life-saving assistance to families affected by the Venezuela earthquakes
Two powerful earthquakes have 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 have been damaged or destroyed, forcing many families to shelter in temporary accommodation or out in the open as aftershocks continue. Access to clean water, food, healthcare and other essential services has been severely disrupted.
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 trusted local organisations already working alongside communities affected by the earthquakes. Because these organisations were part of their communities before disaster struck, they have been able to begin responding immediately.
Together, they are assessing urgent needs and providing emergency assistance, including food, clean water, healthcare, shelter and psychosocial support for people affected by the disaster.
"Now that people are receiving support from other countries, it's such a relief because they know they're not left behind or facing this emergency alone. We're working with local churches because that's how we're able to reach some of the most difficult places.”
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.
This is an active emergency. We will update this page as more information becomes available.

"We have identified that people are deeply affected emotionally. Many are showing significant signs of fear. Many do not want to return to their homes."
