Donations will help meet urgent needs, protect children, restore access to learning, and support locally led recovery as verified needs evolve.
A powerful earthquake struck western Colombia, affecting families, schools, teachers, and early childhood centers. Communities face damaged homes, disrupted services, displacement, and interrupted education. Children and vulnerable families need immediate assistance, safe spaces, essential supplies, and support as communities assess damage and begin the difficult path toward recovery.
United Way Colombia is mobilizing resources and partners to respond to verified needs in affected communities. Donations will support emergency supplies, children and families, educational continuity, psychosocial wellbeing, and the recovery of schools and early childhood spaces. Flexible funding will allow us to adapt our response as needs evolve, from immediate relief to early recovery.
Our response will help communities move from emergency to recovery by restoring safe learning environments, supporting children's wellbeing, strengthening families and caregivers, and helping educational communities rebuild. Beyond immediate relief, United Way Colombia will work with local and corporate partners to support resilient communities and create the conditions for children and families to move forward safely.
