After two powerful earthquakes hit Venezuela, ADRA is focusing its emergency response on water, sanitation and hygiene. Local teams are distributing personal hygiene kits, helping secure access to clean water, and preparing food assistance. Donations will support families affected by damaged homes, disrupted services, and unsafe living conditions.
The earthquakes damaged homes, public buildings, hospitals, schools, and basic infrastructure. Many families have lost safe shelter and access to essential services. Clean water, sanitation and hygiene are urgent priorities, as disrupted systems increase health risks. Response efforts are also complicated by unsafe rubble and possible asbestos exposure.
ADRA's response focuses mainly on the WASH sector: water, sanitation and hygiene. Local teams are distributing personal hygiene kits, supporting access to clean water, and assessing further needs in affected communities. Planned assistance also includes food support, while ADRA continues adapting its response to urgent needs on the ground.
This will help reduce health risks and restore dignity for families affected by the earthquakes. Access to clean water, hygiene supplies and basic assistance can prevent further suffering in the first phase of the crisis. Longer-term support can help communities recover, rebuild safer routines, and regain access to essential services.
