<\/i><\/i><\/span>Help for a nursing home<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>

August 2026<\/strong> – Following the distribution of mother-and-child relief packages we are now supporting a nursing home in the earthquake-hit coastal region near to Caracas. The project is being implemented together with LasComaesAndantes in Caracas. Visiones e. V.<\/a> in Munich is helping with the organization between Germany and Venezuela. The project is being supported by Aktion Deutschland Hilft.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>882 Kilogrammes of food<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
\n

In the last few days, our partner team brought 882 Kilogrammes of food to the Madre Teresa Nursing Home in Las Salinas. The delivery is intended for 76 residents and 15 staff members and is expected to last for about a month. <\/p>\n

\u201eThe journey to Las Salinas was difficult\u201c, explains Ketsy, the leader of our partner organization LasComaesAndantes. \u201eThe route passed by numerous collapsed buildings. The great need for aid was also clearly evident in the surrounding communities.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>Difficult to reach after the earthquakes<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
\n

The nursing home is located ca. 54 km from Caracas and was at times difficult to reach following the serious earthquakes of 24th June 2026. Approximately 50 of the elderly residents don’t have families. Additionally, many carers were also personally affected by the catastrophe.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>The joy was tremendous<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
\n

Following a call for help from the nursing home management, LasComaesAndantes assessed the need, organized the purchase of food and brought this personally to the home. The transfer was documented on site. <\/p>\n

\u201eWhen we arrived, the residents and carers could scarcely believe how much food we had brought\u201c, explains Ketsy. \u201eTheir joy demonstrated to us how important this support is right now.\u201c<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>Relief for several weeks<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
\n

The food delivery takes some of the pressure off the nursing home for several weeks. Additional support is needed to ensure that people in the affected areas continue to receive a reliable supply of food, water, hygiene products, and medication. <\/p>\n

With a donation<\/a> you are supporting us and our partners to implement this help directly on site.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
