Columbia Earthquake Assistance
One of the hardest hit regions and poorest is Chocó. The Chocó region is home to Afro-Colombians and Indigenous residents who already struggle daily and are now dealing with the devasting effects of the earthquake which has killed hundreds and left thousands injured.
Development and Peace – Caritas Canada local partner, Cáritas Colombiana has provided initial assistance by moving its staff and volunteers into the region to provide food, water, shelter, clothing, hygiene supplies and medications to the vulnerable. Already $50, 000 has been provided to support these initial needs. But much more is needed as work continues on recovery and rehabilitation.
