Fourth food box delivery

by

Off the international spotlight, Colombia is still fighting against increasing numbers in COVID-19 cases. Tourism is inexistent in the north of Colombia leading to broken supply chains for the local communities. After almost three months since the outbreak the situation is still critical. We are happy to inform that we were able to distribute food boxes to 60 families with a total of 248 individuals for the fourth time. Furthermore, we provided 400 masks to the people in order to enable a safe social life.

Third food box delivery

Today we were able to distribute the third delivery of food boxes. We continue to give boxes of food among the people in very precarious conditions, including homeless immigrants from Venezuela. Our sole employee Diomedes Sanguino made a great effort to reach all families in need. The Colombian Army is still supporting us with the logistics and the transport.

Yesterday, on Holy Thursday, the unique employee of our social project delivered 60 food boxes to help most vulnerable families, including families with two or three children. We also gave food boxes to some Venezuelan families who are living in tents bordering the Palomino river, in very precarious conditions. Near 40% of the poorest families living in the little town are from Venezuela. Most of these families entered Colombia by roads as the border is very close.

To help address this crisis the administrator of the Foundation and his wife are committed to source food in the nearby city of Santa Marta (80kms) and deliver a bag of basic staples to 60 households every fortnight (i.e. rice, beans, lentils, canned sausages, oil, milk powder, salt, sugar, etc.).
To finance the next deliveries we need your help. We invite you to consider ‘adopting a family’ during 3months. The two monthly deliveries cost 38€ per month per family (including transport cost to source and deliver).
