Venezuela
Venezuela Earthquake Relief
Program Start: June 2026
Following the back-to-back 7.2 and 7.5 magnitude earthquakes in Venezuela, AH&H mobilized its disaster relief team to provide emergency aid, clean water, sanitation, and temporary shelter across Caracas, La Guaira, and Aragua. As efforts shift from immediate disaster response to long-term recovery, we continue to support impacted communities by restoring school access and helping families rebuild.
Disaster Profile
Two devastating back-to-back 7.2 and 7.5 magnitude earthquakes struck off the coast of Venezuela.
When back-to-back 7.2 and 7.5 magnitude earthquakes struck off the coast of Venezuela, entire communities across Caracas, La Guaira, and Aragua were devastated. Buildings collapsed, critical infrastructure failed, and tens of thousands of families were displaced from their homes. In the immediate aftermath, All Hands & Hearts mobilized alongside trusted local partners to provide rapid-response relief—delivering clean drinking water, emergency shelter materials, high-speed internet connectivity, and vital supplies to search-and-rescue teams and hard-hit neighborhoods.
Our Response
What We Have Done So Far
From the first days of emergency response through the early recovery phase, our teams and local volunteers focused on meeting the most urgent needs of impacted families.
- Search & Rescue Support and Emergency Relief: Delivering water to disaster zones, and getting into hard-to-reach areas to support with whatever is needed in the moment. That could look like bottles of water, lanterns, search and rescue equipment, protective gear, or internet access.
- Clean Water & Hygiene (WASH): Installed community water filtration systems, hand-washing stations, and provided thousands of personal hygiene kits.
- Shelter: Delivered tents, tarps, mattresses, and rain-protected platforms to set up safe temporary rain-protected sleeping areas for displaced families.
- Food Supplies: Partnered with community leaders to deliver thousands of daily meals and essential food supplies.
WHAT’S NEXT
Long-Term Recovery & Education
As immediate relief operations stabilize, recovery shifts to helping communities rebuild their daily lives. Our primary focus is making sure children can safely resume their education. We are establishing temporary, covered learning spaces within displacement camps and partnering with local organizations.
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.
