The earthquake of June 24, 2026, directly hit La Guaira and other coastal communities in Venezuela, leaving thousands of families homeless. Many of them have moved to neighboring communities in search of shelter and care.
In response, Chamos Foundation is sustaining and expanding Comunidad Sana, both in areas directly affected by the earthquakes and in coastal communities that, although not directly impacted by the earthquake, are now receiving a significant number of displaced families and have also lost access to the health centers they regularly frequent in La Guaira, together with Somos Comunidad, Proyecto Mayu, and other partners.
The program continues to offer medical-dental care sessions and its work on access to safe water, now scaled up to meet the increased demand.
Progress to date:
Next steps:
The plan is to continue supporting these communities, identify new needs as the displaced population grows, and continue bringing essential health services to those who need them most.
Every consultation, every session, and every supply delivered supports the health of families displaced by the earthquake.

On June 24, two earthquakes shook Venezuela. The damage is devastating.
Fundación Chamos has been working directly with the most vulnerable communities for 19 years. We were already there, and we are already responding.
As part of our comprehensive emergency response, moving towards a reconstruction phase, we are launching Construyo con Chamos (Building with Chamos), a sustainable long-term strategy divided into the following programs: Construyo Jugando (Building by Playing), Construyo Nutriendo (Building by Nourishing), Construyo Gota a Gota (Building Drop by Drop), Construyo Sanando (Building by Healing), and Construyo Rehabilitando (Building by Rehabilitating).
