Current Project - Venezuela Relief after double Earthquake
On 24 June 2026, Venezuela was struck by a devastating double earthquake that caused widespread destruction across Greater Caracas and La Guaira, leaving thousands of families without safe housing, basic services, and reliable means of recovery. The disaster resulted in hundreds of deaths, more than 1,500 injuries, and severe damage to homes, community infrastructure, and several Salesian facilities that traditionally serve vulnerable populations.
In response to this emergency, the Salesians of Don Bosco are actively present on the ground, coordinating relief efforts and mobilizing their networks to support affected communities. Building on their long-standing presence and trust within local communities, they are providing humanitarian assistance to the most vulnerable families.
The project will benefit approximately 600 families (2,400 people), prioritizing earthquake victims, injured persons, children, women, older adults, vulnerable families linked to Salesian works, and affected Salesian workers. Assistance will include food, hygiene and medicine kits, support for shelters hosted in Salesian facilities, and emergency financial assistance. This intervention is essential to address immediate humanitarian needs, protect human dignity, and help families begin their recovery in a context already affected by significant economic and social vulnerability.

Help Us Rebuild Hope at the Liloan, Don Bosco Boys’ Home
On November 3rd, 2025, Typhoon Kalmaegi devastated communities across Cebu, Philippines, the 20th severe storm to strike this year. 288 lives were lost, over 500,000 people displaced, the need is critical.
The impact on our salesian family
Seven Don Bosco Salesian Centres and Parishes suffered extensive damage. At Don Bosco Boys' Home in Liloan, knee-deep mud filled buildings, forcing families to evacuate. Fr. Eugenio witnessed families fleeing to safety as floodwaters destroyed their homes.
Despite their own losses, our Salesians immediately mobilized to provide emergency shelter, food, clean water, and pastoral care to traumatized communities.
Donate today and help us raise $14,000
We urgently need your help to fund:
· Temporary housing for displaced families
· Mud and debris clearing operations
· Critical building repairs and rehabilitation
· Flood protection systems to prevent future disasters
The vulnerable families and young people at Don Bosco Cebu cannot rebuild alone. Your compassion and support will help them recover from this devastating crisis and continue their life-changing mission.
