Emergency Appeal · Venezuela Earthquakes
Venezuela is in ruins. Families need help now.
On 24 June 2026, twin earthquakes devastated northern Venezuela — the country’s most powerful in over a century. Families are searching the rubble, hospitals are overwhelmed, and communities are without shelter. The Venezuelan Community in Ireland is funding emergency relief through trusted partners on the ground. Your donation reaches a family today.

What we do
Three pillars, one community working across borders.
Every project we run sits on one of three commitments — caring for families in Venezuela, helping newcomers thrive in Ireland, and keeping our culture alive.
01
Humanitarian Aid
Aid for Venezuela
We are the link between Venezuelan NGOs and Irish donors, channelling food and health support to families who need it most through trusted partners on the ground.
02
Integration
Belonging in Ireland
We create social inclusion activities so Venezuelans can take part fully in the economic, social and cultural life of their new home — from orientation to community events.
03
Culture
Keeping identity alive
We promote Venezuelan customs and values — food, music, art and tradition — sharing the warmth of our heritage with Ireland and with the next generation.
Why this matters now
A disaster on top of a crisis that never ended.
Behind every statistic is a family. As of 27 June 2026, Venezuelan authorities reported at least 1,719 people dead and 3,238 injured after the 24 June earthquakes — figures the UN expects to rise. UNDP estimates 8.6 million people were exposed to severe shaking, in a country from which more than 7.7 million people had already fled.

children are among those in urgent need of humanitarian assistance (UNICEF).
