Starting in 2022, for three consecutive years, more than 1,000 donors, 25 trusted nonprofits, and GlobalGiving came together around a shared vision: to help ensure that children and families in Venezuela have access to nutritious food and healthcare services that allow them to thrive.
Together, your generosity made a difference—from providing vital healthcare to Indigenous communities in Bolívar to supporting women’s health in Amazonas. Your support enabled local organizations to create lasting impact in the communities they serve.
Much has changed since we last came together in solidarity for Venezuela. Today, the country is facing a new challenge. Two powerful earthquakes have caused widespread destruction across Caracas and surrounding coastal communities, claiming thousands of lives and leaving many in urgent need of assistance.
The organizations you helped support through Arepa Day are once again responding on the ground. Several have launched emergency projects to support people and communities affected by the earthquakes, and they need your help to meet these growing needs.
For over 25 years, our partner ONTV has facilitated organ donation and transplantation while providing healthcare to patients with chronic conditions. Following the earthquakes, ONTV quickly mobilized to deliver essential medicines and medical supplies to hospitals, shelters, and communities across Venezuela, while continuing to care for its patients.
For over 40 years, our partner SOVENIA has supported autistic people and their families. Following the earthquake, SOVENIA activated an emergency response to provide medical care, logistical support, and emotional assistance to affected families.
You can help locally led organizations respond where the need is greatest. Your donation can help provide essential medical supplies, healthcare, and emergency assistance to people and families affected by the earthquakes.
Make a donation to our Venezuela earthquake response fund or directly support one of the organizations responding on the ground.
Every contribution can help local organizations reach more people with the support they need during this difficult time. Thank you for standing with Venezuela once again in this time of need.
With gratitude,
Oswaldo + The GlobalGiving Team
