When Solidarity Matters Most<\/h3><\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>There for others \u2014 despite one's own hardship<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>

October 2026<\/strong> \u2014 Sometimes humanity shines through precisely when one\u2019s own strength has long been put to the test. Following the severe earthquakes in Venezuela more than four months ago, the consequences for many people were dramatic: there was no water or electricity, communication networks collapsed, and roads were blocked. In towns such as Caribe, Tanaguarenas, and Catia La Mar, people lost their homes or loved ones.<\/p>\n

The staff at Hogar Cl\u00ednica Madre Teresa in Las Salinas, in the state of La Guaira, were also affected by the difficult conditions. Nevertheless, they remained by the side of the people who depend on their care.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>They continued to take care of things<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
\n

Nursing homes are home to older adults who are particularly vulnerable due to mental illness, cognitive impairments, or a lack of family support. They need reliable care and people who provide them with a sense of security and affection.<\/p>\n

The fact that the staff continued their work despite the difficult conditions deserves recognition and concrete support.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>Second relief effort for the nursing home<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
\n

\u201cIt\u2019s important to us to also support those who care for others every day,\u201d says Ketsy, director of our partner organization LasComaesAndantes. That\u2019s why we\u2019ve worked together to launch a second relief effort for the nursing home. Our partner team organizes these efforts directly on the ground and understands the needs of the local communities.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>Food for employees<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
\n

As part of the second initiative, nearly 588 kilograms of non-perishable and processed food were provided. The shipment included, among other items, rice, flour, sugar, pasta, beans, oatmeal, and condensed milk. It was supplemented by 48 litres of oil and four cartons of eggs.<\/p>\n

The food is intended for the 38 employees of the nursing home. It is meant to improve their provisions and provide tangible relief in what remains a stressful situation.<\/p>\n

<\/i><\/i><\/span>Recognize their efforts<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
\n

Through this support, we also want to recognize the dedication of our employees. After all, those who care for particularly vulnerable people despite their own worries and difficult life circumstances must not be overlooked.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>Help that gets directly to those who need it<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
\n

We focus on providing direct on-site support. Our partner LasComaesAndantes\u2019 team assesses people\u2019s needs, and together we tailor our relief efforts specifically to those needs.<\/p>\n

Our own surveys and the systematic assessment of local needs help ensure that distribution is transparent and reduce the risk of aid supplies being misdirected. Direct delivery facilitates personal interactions, builds trust, and makes it clear who the aid is intended for.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>Don't forget those affected<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
\n

That is why we must not forget those affected. Together with our partner organization LasComaesAndantes, and with the support of Aktion Deutschland Hilft<\/a> and our donors, we stand by the people of Venezuela and are committed to ensuring that urgently needed aid reaches those who need it most.<\/p>\n

After all, solidarity means standing up for one another\u2014even when public attention wanes and the challenges on the ground persist.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
