Venezuela Earthquake
Disaster Relief

A devastating earthquake has struck Venezuela, leaving thousands of families without food, shelter, or medical care. These communities were already among the most vulnerable in the world.

What Happened & Why It Matters

Venezuela was already facing one of the worst humanitarian crises in the Western Hemisphere — with 80% of the population living in poverty and critical shortages of food and medicine — when a powerful earthquake struck, compounding the suffering for thousands of families.

Homes have been destroyed. Hospitals are overwhelmed. Children and the elderly — the most vulnerable — are in immediate danger. The communities affected had virtually no resources to prepare for this disaster and have even fewer to recover from it.

The Nora Deutsch Foundation has on-the-ground partners in Venezuela who can distribute aid directly and immediately. Your donation will be deployed within days, not weeks.

"These families had nothing before the earthquake. Now they have even less. They need our help today." — Nora Deutsch Foundation
