The Compassion Hub

Fundraising for an emergency

When a crisis strikes, our local partner organisations on the ground are able to respond quickly to provide emergency assistance to communities impacted by natural disasters, like cyclones, floods and earthquakes, as well as protracted crises, like refugee displacement.
Our emergency response programs provide urgent relief to communities affected by a crisis, through the distribution of food, clean water, shelter, hygiene kits and other emergency supplies.

Venezuela Earthquake

On the evening of 24 June 2026, two major earthquakes, measuring 7.2 and 7.5, struck northern Venezuela within minutes of each other.

The impact was felt across the capital, Caracas, and throughout central and coastal regions. Buildings, homes and infrastructure have collapsed and been severely damaged, and there has been widespread disruption to essential services.

Rescue efforts are slow, hampered by damaged infrastructure and limited resources. So far 1,700 people are confirmed dead, with tens of thousands still missing.

But with your help, we can provide emergency shelter, food, clean water, and care to those most affected.

Every donation will support Caritas partners on the ground to respond quickly and reach people in urgent need.


Set up your fundraiser to support people affected by the Venezuela Earthquake. 

This lifesaving work can only happen with your support
