Today, more than ever, we need to join forces. In the face of this emergency, solidarity and collective action are absolutely essential. The communities affected by the earthquake are facing staggering losses and damages that have shattered their homes, community spaces, and livelihoods. At TECHO, we have been working for over 18 years in Colombia. We want to provide a secure channel for anyone who wishes to step up and support the affected individuals and families during this critical time.
On August 10, a devastating 7.4 magnitude earthquake struck Colombia, causing an unprecedented catastrophe across the country. With its epicenter in San Jose del Palmar, Choco, the quake has left over 100 people dead and dozens injured, while causing the collapse of homes and critical infrastructure in regions such as Choco, Valle del Cauca, and the Coffee Region (Eje Cafetero).
At TECHO, we want to provide a secure channel for anyone who wishes to step up and support the affected individuals and families during this critical time. Every contribution, no matter the size, provides crucial support to those who need it most today by providing them with a safe shelter.
With your donation, we plan to provide more than 200 shelters for family who lost it all after the earthquake.
