Help Families Survive the Venezuela Earthquake

CLWR is responding through the Lutheran World Federation, already on the ground.

[Last Updated: 07/15/2026 at 8:13am]

The road to recovery has just begun

Weeks after two devastating earthquakes struck western Venezuela, thousands of families remain without safe shelter, clean water and the basic supplies needed to rebuild their lives. Search and recovery efforts continue, while entire communities face months of recovery ahead. More than 4,400 people have been confirmed dead, with thousands more displaced and critical infrastructure severely damaged.

Although international attention has begun to fade, the humanitarian needs have not.
