Our response
We work on four fronts, prioritising what communities themselves identify as most urgent and hiring locally wherever we can.
Emergency shelter
Shelter kits and materials for families whose homes are uninhabitable, with support continuing until repair becomes viable.
Clean water
Household filters, storage, and repair of the rural aqueducts the earthquake damaged.
Medical care
Supplies for mobile teams in areas where health centres were put out of service.
Rebuilding
Repairing homes and schools using local labour, so recovery also sustains the local economy.
Teams and partners
Nine of the eleven partners working in the affected area are Colombian organisations Renacer funded before the earthquake. Cash limits and outstanding receipt sets are published per team, because a partner holding money without receipts is the thing a donor most needs to see.
