The people of Venezuela need our help

The people of Venezuela need us today. 

Our partners are already there. We need to act quickly.  

Canadian Jesuits International (CJI) is accepting donations to support humanitarian relief efforts in northern Venezuela. A generous donor has pledged to match all donations received before the end of July, up to $5,000. Please make a contribution today. 

Venezuela was hit by two deadly earthquakes on June 24, leaving thousands of people in urgent need of assistance and causing widespread destruction. The death toll has been rising as search efforts continue. 

Jesuit Refugee Service (JRS), Fe y Alegria,  and other CJI Jesuit partners in Venezuela are already on the ground: providing emergency support to individuals and families affected by the earthquakes, including temporary shelter, essential relief items, protection services, and psycho-social support. They are also conducting rapid assessments in the affected areas to identify the most urgent needs and ensure assistance continues to reach those most in need. Our partners have worked in Venezuela for many years, building experienced teams and well-established networks of people who are already responding to the emergency. 

JRS reports that countless people are facing uncertainty and loss. Livelihoods have been disrupted, and entire communities are struggling to recover from the shock of the life-changing disaster.  

Your donation will enable our partners to respond quickly to this emergency, provide life-saving assistance, and accompany affected communities as they begin the long process of recovery and rebuilding.
