Project HOPE @projecthopeorg

Those who endure and survive disasters can travel a long road to recovery. They may experience the loss of a loved one, the loss of a home, limited access to water, food, and medication, or the loss of their livelihood, all of which can lead to severe increases in stress and anxiety. At Project HOPE, we know recovery doesn't end when the headlines do. We've supported communities in Venezuela since 2019, and today our teams are providing medical care, psychosocial support, and other resources people need to rebuild, one day at a time. . . . . . @StateDept

"Continuing to feel the aftershocks... and... man, how can I tell you? Seeing and accepting that La Guaira practically disappeared. And I haven't gone back. It's just what I see, and it's something that truly impacts you. Not even sleeping on the street, because thank God we are alive, we are together. There are children who were left without families, there are families who were left without children. That... I thank God every day, that's all." Julietta survived the earthquakes and shared with our team while distributing hygiene kits at a local shelter. Stay up to date with how you can help: projecthope.org/news-stories/r…

Claudia Manresa, Venezuela Regional Manager at Project HOPE, joined Meet the Press NOW on @nbcnews to discuss the urgent humanitarian situation following last week’s twin earthquakes and the strain the disaster is putting on the country's already struggling systems. nbcnews.com/meet-the-press… @nbcnews

Community members and health workers are working around the clock to save lives and support clean-up efforts after the earthquakes — clearing the streets where their neighbors and family members once worked, lived, and played. Shovels, brooms, heavy duty cleaning gloves, helmets and safety goggles help protect them amidst the rubble and often unstable areas they are working. Your emergency donation can help rush urgent aid and supplies to keep survivors safely moving towards recovery. give.projecthope.org/page/FY26_Vene…

With approximately 12,000 displaced persons – 15,000 people now considered homeless – access to clean water is critical in Venezuela. Local staff delivered 1,000 water purification tablets to a shelter in Caracas’s main park — Parque del Este, where displaced people have gathered since the earthquake — to ensure that the water displaced individuals are accessing is safe for consumption. We also quickly established water trucking operations, delivering over 10,000 liters of potable water to more than 7,500 people in the municipality of Hatillo in Miranda state. When you have lost everything like many of these survivors, the most basic items are a lifeline and bring so much HOPE.

Last night, Kyiv was struck by devastating attacks that killed at least 21 civilians, injured 85 more, and damaged 28 locations across the capital. “Project HOPE Ukraine teams were on the ground immediately, providing essential aid and psychological support to people affected by the strikes.” said Vira Topikha, Deputy Program Director, Ukraine. Our thoughts are with the families who lost loved ones and with everyone impacted by this devastating attack. Project HOPE will continue to deliver life-saving support despite the ongoing risks. projecthope.org/news-stories/p…

Thankfully @projecthopeorg staff are safe after attacks on Kyiv, but 20 civilians were killed. We're distributing hygiene kits & providing psychological first aid. As the world's attention is pulled toward other crises, the world cannot forget #Ukraine. apnews.com/article/russia…

“Rebuilding will take months of sustained effort,” said Project HOPE program manager César Jiménez in Venezuela. Project HOPE’s initial distributions included antibiotics, emergency supplies, disinfectants, and medical equipment to support health workers facing a rapid rise in patients in health facilities across the region. We are now scaling up healthcare services through both facility and community-based supports, including additional staffing support at health facilities within the targeted geographic areas, deploying Mobile Medical Units across the three most affected states, and the provision of pharmaceuticals, medical supplies, and equipment. projecthope.org/news-stories/s… Photos: Ernesto Costante

"Our programming is implemented in 55 health centers. However, for this emergency, we are supporting seven health centers within the Capital District, seven in Miranda, and five in La Guaira...On the night of the earthquake, we mobilized to the three main ambulatory emergency rooms in Caracas: one in El Hatillo, the main emergency room in Chacao, followed by the Baruta emergency room. The next day, we began deliveries in La Guaira." Project HOPE Venezuela's Carolina de Jesús shares more: youtube.com/watch?v=9N1L-O…

One week has passed since the catastrophic earthquakes in Venezuela, and as search-and-rescue operations shift to search-and-recovery efforts in the coming days, the mental health toll also begins to really settle in for survivors. Project HOPE is providing psychological first aid to patients and families at health centers in an effort to help stabilize people in acute distress, prevent panic attacks and manage grief, and provide lifesaving mental health support in the aftermath of the disaster. Even in the darkest moments, our teams are there, reminding survivors they are not alone. projecthope.org/news-stories/r… Photo: Ernesto Constante

"Videos being posted on social media don’t reflect the scale of the disaster. He said the electricity grid still hadn’t been reestablished in many areas, complicating rescue efforts at night. He said hospitals were completely overwhelmed, with the smell of decomposing bodies beneath the debris becoming more pronounced with each passing day." Caesar Jiménez, a Project Hope projects and grants manager in Venezuela who has been assessing needs in La Guaira with his team, shared with @newhumanitarian.⬇️ thenewhumanitarian.org/news-feature/2…
