Venezuela's Emergency:
What's Happening and How to Help

Venezuela is in an emergency situation: Most of its residents don’t have access to food, medicine, and basic services because of political instability and economic collapse. Some 96% of the country lives in poverty. The COVID-19 pandemic has made an already critical situation worse. Venezuelans fleeing the emergency are now at greater risk, and refugees have died on escape routes and at the hands of smugglers. Please donate to one of these community-led projects to help our vetted nonprofit partners provide immediate assistance and develop long-term solutions to the emergency in Venezuela.
