Caritas and Community Dividend exceed 129 aid deliveries for earthquake victims

The "Fuerza Venezuela" campaign, a collaborative initiative by Dividendo Voluntario para la Comunidad (DVC) and Cáritas de Venezuela, has surpassed 129 aid deliveries to communities affected by earthquakes on June 24. This collective effort has mobilized substantial humanitarian aid, including over 104 tons of food, 127,000 liters of water and beverages, and more than 357,000 medicines and medical supplies. The campaign has reached over 50 localities and organizations across La Guaira, Distrito Capital, and Miranda. The initiative, launched on June 26, is now transitioning into a new phase focused on early recovery and addressing critical needs through viable projects. This includes providing support in education, nutrition, health, and livelihoods for the most vulnerable communities. The campaign has also seen significant corporate involvement, with 812 volunteers from 64 organizations contributing over 5,185 hours to sort, inventory, organize, and dispatch humanitarian aid. "This effort reflects the commitment of the Venezuelan private sector to the well-being of communities and demonstrates the value of collaboration between organizations when the country faces emergency situations," stated the Dividendo Voluntario para la Comunidad. As the emergency evolves, the DVC's collection centers have transformed into distribution hubs to meet specific needs during this recovery stage. Ramón Ostos, President of the DVC, emphasized the ongoing commitment to accompany affected communities with responsibility and transparency to maximize the impact of every contribution.
