Our organization responds to the worst humanitarian crises in the world and helps people survive and rebuild their lives. Founded in 1933 at the request of Albert Einstein, The organization offers life-saving care and life-changing assistance to displaced persons and refugees who are forced to flee war, conflict or disaster. Working today in more than 40 countries and 22 cities in the USA. In the US, we restore the safety, dignity, and hope of millions of uprooted people struggling to survive.
The humanitarian crisis in Venezuela continues to intensify. Venezuelans face hyperinflation, which puts them out of the reach of basic goods and services, including medical care and food. The shortage of medical supplies makes it difficult to diagnose and treat communicable diseases and sexual and reproductive health needs, among other services. Lack of food has caused hunger and malnutrition. Between 2015 and 2018, more than three million Venezuelans went to look for goods and services, mainly in neighboring countries.
Our Organization has responded to the crisis by supporting Venezuelans who cross the arc of the migration pattern, including Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru. In Colombia, we work in the areas of multipurpose health, protection, education and monetary assistance in Cúcuta, Medellín, Cundinamarca, Norte de Santander, Nariño ( specifically Ipiales ) and Valle del Cauca ( especially in Cali ). In Venezuela, it has been developing programs through local organizations. Since January 2021, we have expanded our response to Ecuador and Peru in 2022, establishing strategic projects and alliances with local partners, with an emphasis on attention to border corridors from/towards Colombia and Peru. We are currently working to strengthen the capacity of local partners to provide access to quality sexual and reproductive health services,nutrition, meet basic needs, and decent livelihoods for the migrant population.
