An 8.8 magnitude earthquake hit central Chile early Feb 27, destroying hospitals around and in Santiago, VIDA has connected with our local partner FEDES to supply needed medical supplies.
The most urgent need is to raise funds to support the shipment of multiple containers to Chile - either by sea or airlift. Each container holds approximately 1 million in supplies and cost approx, $10,000 to deliver. VIDA provides $140 in medical aid for every dollar donated. A $100 donation provides $14,000 in medical aid.
In concert with GlobalGiving and Fundación Educativa de Desarrollo Economico y Social (FEDES) locally on the ground, this fund will provide victims of the earthquake with critical medical care. More details will be provided as they are available.
It will take many months to restore Chile. VIDA is preparing to ship containers of medical relief in cooperation with the Fundación Educativa de Desarrollo Economico y Social FEDES
Rezamos a Dios para que los afectados por el sismo se recuperen pronto.
