Two months after Venezuela’s June earthquakes killed over 6,500 people, Project HOPE’s mobile clinics in La Guaira and Caracas are treating survivors’ lasting wounds — chronic disease, disrupted prenatal care, and trauma — while local staff rebuild their own communities.
More than six tons of medicines and supplies, requested by the Venezuelan Red Cross and Acción Solidaria, arrived Saturday in Caracas, provided by Direct Relief.
Acción Solidaria and Grupo de Rescate Metropolitano de Caracas, or GREMCA, received emergency funds from Direct Relief to support health efforts as the earthquake response continues.
Fundación Santa en las Calles operates two mobile clinics serving people experiencing homelessness. Panabus provides comprehensive primary care, while its newer pink companion Panarosa offers full gynecological services to women on the streets.
