Venezuelan Refugee Fund

SAI is providing food relief and Covid Personal Protective Equipment to Venezuelans living in Colombia as well as migrants from Venezuela and families affected by the coronavirus pandemic.

E-Grocery Gift Cards

SAI is providing e-grocery store gift cards for use in local grocery stores where needy families can receive credit to purchase food, Personal Protective Equipment, OTC medications, and cleaning supplies.

If you live in a top-rated country these products may be easy to come by, yet in third-world countries, these covid-based products are scarce.

Our Personal Protective Equipment is certified by SAI to be the highest medical grade supplies, equipment, and all things related to treating and preventing the spread of this deadly virus.

We import our supplies from the USA, United Kingdom, France, and all supplies are certified by medical standards to be of the highest quality in every category.

Your donations are helping Venezuelan families, and orphaned children.

How much should you give?

Depending on the size of the family and the degree of need, we issue e-grocery gift cards in the amount of $15 - $40. This may not seem like much to you, but in Venezuela and Colombia, it has a tremendous impact to families in need.

SAI Provides Food Cards for Venezuelan Refugees Migrating into Colombia to Buy Food

It is estimated that over 1.7 million Venezuelans have migrated to Colombia seeking refuge from a collapsed economy and political unrest.

South American Initiative is providing Venezuelan refugees with food cards they can use at local Colombian stores to buy groceries and personal hygiene supplies immediately when they cross the border into  Colombia.

5,000 Venezuelan Migrants Cross into Colombia Daily

It is estimated that 5,000 Venezuelans cross the border into Colombia every day. This landmark migration requires humanitarian aid to help new settlers with food, shelter, and medical care. They will also need education to get jobs in Colombia.

In most cases, these refugees do not have any food or personal hygiene items like soap, shampoo, toothpaste, toothbrushes, and over the counter medicines. Venezuelan refugees use SAI food cards to purchase groceries to feed their families after crossing the border into Colombia. They are very happy to receive such a warm welcome to their new country.

Once the refugees cross the border into Colombia, SAI volunteers welcome them to their new homeland. Here they are offered something to drink, a snack, and an opportunity to learn how families can acquire a free SAI food card worth $40-$60 per month.

This is a digital currency they can use immediately to purchase food and personal supplies they need to help start a new life in Colombia. This money is used for emergency help for migrants who have lost their jobs or have been laid off because of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Your generous donations provide desperately needed humanitarian aid to help Venezuelans overcome one crisis on top of another crisis. We thank you for sharing your prosperity with those who are severely less fortunate than you.
