Earthquake in Venezuela: Support for the victims
Following the earthquake on June 24 in Venezuela, the Santa en las Calles Foundation refocused its activities to assist the affected communities in Caracas and La Guaira. In response to the damaged infrastructure and the displacement of families to temporary shelters, the organization immediately set up a collection center to provide supplies and medications to those affected, as well as to hospitals, volunteers, and healthcare workers.
Starting in July, the response was supplemented by health services from our Panabus and Panarosa mobile units, which also conducted medical and psychosocial care outreach in the field. Below are some of the results achieved.
• A total of 1,968 people were treated, ensuring the free distribution of 2,971 treatments.
• The main conditions diagnosed were cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, respiratory, and gastrointestinal.
• 1,353 hot meals were distributed at temporary shelters and in communities affected by the twin earthquakes.
• The social development team provided emotional first aid to support those affected by the emotional impact of the tragedy.
This effort was made possible through coordination with partners and institutions, reaffirming the Foundation’s commitment to the holistic well-being and support of vulnerable communities.

Terremoto en Venezuela: Ayuda a las víctimas
Tras el doble terremoto del pasado 24 de junio en Venezuela, la Fundación Santa en las Calles reorientó sus actividades para atender a las comunidades afectadas en Caracas y La Guaira. Ante la infraestructura dañada y el desplazamiento de familias a refugios temporales, la organización activó de inmediato un Centro de Acopio para suministrar insumos y medicamentos a los damnificados, así como a centros hospitalarios, voluntarios y personal de salud.
A partir de julio, la respuesta se complementó con los servicios de salud de nuestras unidades móviles Panabus y Panarosa, implementando además jornadas de atención médica y psicosocial en campo. A continuación, se presentan algunos de los resultados obtenidos.
Este despliegue fue posible gracias a la articulación con aliados e instituciones, reafirmando el compromiso de la Fundación con el bienestar integral y el acompañamiento de las comunidades vulnerables.
