SHELTERBOX VENEZUELA APPEAL - two powerful earthquakes measuring 7.2 and 7.5 magnitudes struck Venezuela’s northern coast within minutes of each other, leaving communities, including the largest population centers, devastated. Thousands of people have lost their lives, tens of thousands have been injured, and hundreds of thousands of families are expected to need emergency shelter and essential household items. A state of emergency has been declared as rescue efforts continue.
ShelterBox is responding alongside our local partner, CADENA. Together, we are conducting rapid assessments to identify the greatest shelter needs and prepare emergency shelter and essential aid for families affected by the earthquakes. We have extensive experience supporting families after major earthquakes. Your support makes this possible. ShelterBox relies on the generosity of Rotarians as well as private donors to deliver life-saving aid wherever disaster strikes. Please remember that no donation is too small, every single donation will provide desperately needed aid.
