VENEZUELA NEEDS
YOUR HELP
Since June 24th, communities across Venezuela have been living through a humanitarian emergency following a series of earthquakes that have become one of the worst disasters due to natural hazards the country has seen in a century.
The current toll stands at more than 1,719 people killed, injured, and hundreds still missing — and those numbers continue to climb as search and rescue operations press on.
From the earliest hours of the emergency, YMCA teams in Caracas and Valencia have been working alongside local communities, providing support where it is needed most.
Your contribution can help provide aid and protection to the communities hit the hardest.
Please note that donations are processed in U.S. dollars (USD). The Latin American and Caribbean Alliance of YMCAs is not able to issue tax-deductible receipts for this contributions.

How We’re Responding to the Emergency
YMCAs across Venezuela are mobilizing an immediate response to address the most urgent needs, as well as the medium- and long-term needs, and stand alongside their communities.
Our locations in Caracas and Valencia are coordinating efforts to reach the hardest-hit areas.
- Helping clear debris and support people affected by the disaster.
- Opening our facilities as safe spaces and temporary shelters for people who need a place to turn.
- Running collection and distribution centers in Caracas and Valencia, collecting food, water, clothing, medicine, and hygiene supplies.
- Equipping rescuers in the field with masks, gloves, and personal hygiene supplies.
- Establish “YMCA Safe Meeting Zones” to provide socio-emotional support, physical rehabilitation, and nutritional assistance to the community.
Note: A local needs assessment is currently underway in the affected communities to identify and prioritize the most urgent needs. This information will help guide and adjust the response.
