The Situation

On June 24, 2026, a powerful double earthquake centered in the Yaracuy region struck Venezuela, affecting various parts of the country — among the hardest hit was La Guaira. Homes, clinics, and schools were damaged, and thousands of families need food, water, and medical care right now.

Why give here

Real people you can trust, not a faceless fund.

Venezuela Rises is led by Carlos Borjas & Coro Borjas, recognized members of the Venezuelan community who have already raised $5,632 for relief. Our team is on the ground in Venezuela documenting every delivery with photos and video, and every dollar is logged publicly, in real time, for anyone to see.

Leadership

Led by people of service and purpose.

Venezuela Rises began as a private initiative, born from the urgency of the earthquake. We are currently in the process of establishing ourselves as a formal NGO.

Questions, answered.

Where does my money go?
Food, water, medicine, and recovery aid, bought and delivered by our team in Venezuela. Every expense appears in the live dashboard.
Who runs this?
Carlos Borjas & Coro Borjas. Coro coordinates from Florida and Carlos is on the ground in Venezuela, with a local team distributing aid.
Can you send a donation receipt?
We began as a private initiative born from the urgency of the earthquake, and we're currently working toward establishing ourselves as a formal NGO, so we're not set up to issue formal receipts yet. We chose to move this way so aid could start immediately, and in exchange, every dollar is tracked publicly and in real time for anyone to audit.
How do I know aid actually reaches people?
Each delivery is documented with photos and video, linked inside the public dashboard so you can see exactly what your gift bought.
How can I help beyond donating?
