Tear Fund
Venezuela Earthquake
Emergency Appeal
Before the earthquakes, almost 8 million people in Venezuela were already in need due to political and economic turmoil. This left much of the population without water, healthcare, education, and energy. Now, these needs are critical.
Tearfund’s partners in Venezuela, including the Evangelical Council of Venezuela and the Venezuelan Baptist Convention, are responding to the growing and varied needs in the area.
Your gift today will help Tearfund and our faith-based partners to:
supply emergency food and shelter to the countless people who have lost their homes and livelihoods,
offer medical care to the injured,
and provide post-traumatic stress support to survivors.
Offer support in prayer or by making a donation.
