Venezuela : Two powerful earthquakes

A response driven by local communities

Our colleagues at Caritas Venezuela began responding within hours of the earthquakes.

Thanks to their presence across the country, they are assessing the damage, identifying the most urgent needs and coordinating the response with the wider Caritas network.

With 35 diocesan offices and more than 30,000 volunteers, Caritas Venezuela can reach even the hardest-hit communities quickly.

To respond to the scale of the disaster, Caritas Venezuela has launched its 24×24 Plan. Teams alternate between days dedicated to receiving, sorting and preparing relief supplies and days entirely focused on distributing them to affected communities.

This approach ensures that aid reaches people quickly, efficiently and transparently, while constantly adapting to evolving needs.

Alongside material assistance, Caritas teams continue to provide psychosocial support to the most vulnerable people.
