For the last three years we have been supplying schools, nutritional recovery programmes and community centres with WASH infrastructure, helping them to improve their operations and provide better services. Providing WASH infrastructure and resources to these important programmes builds their capacity, enabling them to continue and grow - and ultimately provide much-needed support to the children in Venezuela.
Today, we want to share some of the testimonials we've received recently to give you an insight into the impact of our WASH programme - and why your support is so important to many in Venezuela.
From our partner Meals4Hope - who run a community centre (providing nutritional support, amongst other services, to children) in rural Venezuela:
"Chamos' support for this and other communities has been very relevant, especially in water issues. Having clean and safe water is very important for hygiene, nutrition and all life functions. The children know that Chamos provides them with clean water, and they come asking for 'Chamos water'!"
From a partner that run a community centre on the edge of Petare, one of the biggest slums in Latin America:
“Once a boy asked us for water and we gave him water from the filter Chamos gave us, and the boy said, in the midst of his innocence, that the water in the church was tastier than the one in his house.”
From one of our partner schools in La Vega (a poor area of Caracas) where 300 children attend daily:
"Our greatest testimony is that since in person classes began, it had not been possible to summon 100% of the students due to lack of water and thanks to the tanks, today all the children enrolled in the school attend."
I hope these testimonials go some way towards illustrating the true impact that your donation is having on children across the country.
If this email has inspired you to do more to support Chamos - look no further! #GivingTuesday2022 is just around the corner (November 29th), and this year GlobalGiving are offering $1.2 million of incentive funds - so the more Chamos raises, the more additional funds we receive. This year, we are aiming high: with the mission of raising $60,000 for projects to bridge the education gap in Venezuela. We'd love you to join us in making this our biggest Giving Tuesday ever!
