The nature of the Venezuelan people is characterized by showing compassion and love for those who need it most, and that is what I Love Venezuela Foundation do. We’re a global community in permanent growth. Every day, more volunteers, donors, Venezuelans and friends join to this project to work in a structured way and so that the efforts invested achieve a positive result in Venezuela.
Our job as a foundation is to raise funds so that foundations working in Venezuela continue fulfilling their objectives.
Since the last report, the team has been working hand in hand with the NGO’s in Venezuela, listening their needs, creating fundraising events and sending all this help to this country.
In July of 2018 we realize our trip number 20 to Venezuela, following our main approaches: to be in permanent contact with the foundations we help and evaluate their progress in the face of the contribution delivered. In this visit we could see more closely the crisis that exists in Venezuela, but also, we could see the smiles of the children who need help. Smiles that filled our hearts.
Construyendo Futuros, Honim and Conbive at Valles del Tuy, Barquisimeto and Los Roques respectively were the foundations that we accompanied in our last trip. We gave them the money, raised the clothes and the hygiene products collected in the United States. They taught us their work and they showed us the needs of the community where they work and help.
The donations we have given will help Construyendo Futuros with shoes for the children of a primary school, at los Valles del Tuy in Miranda state, so they can play on the football field without their bare foot; will help more than 60 people with disabilities who are under care of Honim and will help the children at Los Roques to learn about the environment protection.
I Love Venezuela Foundation has more than 4 years and in this moment we’ve helped more than 50.000 families, more than 40 foundations, visited more than 15 states, evaluated more than 70 organizations, generated alliances with more than 60 sponsors and achieved a communication reach to more than 125 million people.
We heartily appreciates all those who are supporting this project and who those who have contributed in whatever way towards the raising of funds and the implementation of the project.
