Venezuela
Venezuela Earthquake Relief
Program Start: June 2026
All Hands & Hearts mobilized its disaster relief team to Venezuela in response to the powerful 7.2-magnitude and 7.5-magnitude earthquakes that struck near San Felipe, just outside Caracas. In collaboration with Alimenta La Solidaridad, we started delivering water and emergency supplies less than 24 hours after the earthquakes, with deliveries continuing around the clock.
Our Response
AH&H is delivering essential supplies around the clock to survivors and will provide recovery support.
Within 24 hours of the earthquakes and together with our trusted local partner, Alimenta la Solidaridad, we delivered the first trucks carrying clean water and other essential relief supplies to affected communities. Since then, we haven’t stopped. The next day, an additional 17 trucks were dispatched, working tirelessly day and night to reach survivors and deliver life-saving assistance to those in greatest need.
An additional AH&H Response Team is en route to Caracus, equipped with essential response supplies and connectivity kits.
Our response will evolve in three phases:
• Over the next few days: Emergency Response
Our priority is to save lives by delivering clean water, food, generators, hygiene supplies, masks, emergency shelter materials, tents, connectivity support, and other essential relief items while continuing to assess evolving needs, coordinate closely with local authorities and partners, and ensure assistance reaches the communities most affected.
• Over the coming weeks: Early Recovery
As Search and Rescue wraps up and immediate humanitarian needs begin to stabilize, our focus will expand to helping families safely return home through debris removal and site clearance, supporting emergency and transitional shelter solutions, restoring access to safe water and sanitation, and helping children return to learning as quickly as possible through school clean-up, minor repairs, and temporary learning spaces where needed.
• Over the months ahead: Long-Term Recovery
Recovery is a marathon, not a sprint. While most disaster funding is mobilized during the first weeks following a catastrophe, communities often spend months, and frequently years (!), rebuilding their homes, schools, livelihoods, and sense of normalcy.
At All Hands & Hearts, our commitment extends far beyond the emergency phase. We arrive early and stay late, partnering with communities to rebuild stronger, safer, and more resilient than before. It is this sustained commitment that makes lasting recovery possible.
