An update on our response in Venezuela

Here’s why your MATCHED gift is needed

Friend, families and children are still facing unimaginable tragedy and uncertainty following the two devastating earthquakes that struck densely populated areas of Venezuela. Many have lost loved ones. Homes have collapsed. Schools, hospitals and water systems have been damaged or destroyed, leaving families without the basics they need to stay safe. Save the Children began responding within 24 hours following the disaster, and we are continuing a coordinated, child-focused response with local partners. Rush your 2X-matched gift to our Children’s Emergency Fund to help families affected in Venezuela and crisis zones worldwide.   Below are images of the situation in Caracas and our response in action.   A baby’s crib sits among the rubble after the earthquakes damaged or destroyed homes. In an instant, places that should’ve offered safety and comfort were  reduced to debris. Instead of walking home, this young girl walks between rows of tents. With nowhere to go, many families are camping on the streets or in parks. Children urgently need safe places to stay, clean water, emotional support and hope as they begin to recover. Save the Children staff are meeting with families displaced by the earthquakes to understand what children need most and deliver emergency assistance. Save the Children’s teams and partners are working around the clock to pack emergency relief supplies for rapid distribution. Getting essential items into the hands of children and families as quickly as possible is a critical first step in this response.  Your gift today can have twice the impact, helping deliver emergency supplies, safe water, medical care, child protection and psychosocial support to children affected by this disaster — and wherever the next emergency strikes.  Make your 2X-matched gift today to help children in Venezuela and others facing crisis around the world.
