🇨🇴 Supporting Rural Communities in Crisis
On Sunday, 8 June, a 6.4 magnitude earthquake strucked a rural region of Colombia, devastating small farming communities — including some of our own family members and neighbors.
These are people who have worked their entire lives to build their modest homes with great sacrifice and dignity. Now, many have lost everything.
Homes have collapsed. Basic services are gone. Livelihoods are at risk. And while we thank God there were no fatalities, several people were injured, and the material damage is enormous.
💔 Why This Matters
The municipalities of Medina and Paratebueno, in Cundinamarca, were among the most severely affected areas.
With this campaign, we will be directly supporting some families from the vereda Santa Teresa, a rural community in Medina, where the destruction has been particularly devastating.
These families live in remote, underserved areas with very limited state support.
Their houses — often built by hand over many years — were destroyed in seconds.
Many affected are elderly, farmers, or parents of young children.
This disaster has affected relatives, close friends, and entire communities. More than 1.200 people affected.
The sadness is immense. They had little — and now, they have nothing.

🌱 How Your Donation Helps
Every euro makes a real difference! With your help, we can provide:
- Emergency aid like food, clothing, and hygiene items (they are now in temporary shelters)
- But most importantly — help them rebuild their homes.
My main focus is to support these families in reconstructing their houses, so they can return to a safe and stable life as soon as possible.
Every contribution helps — no matter the size.
We are working directly with trusted local contacts in the region to ensure that your help goes exactly where it's needed — fast, and with full transparency.
