When the situation has stabilised and the rebuild can begin, we will consider the best way that we can help the people of Nepal.
There will be immense damage to homes, community centres, schools etc so plenty to do.
Your support in this will help us make a real difference on your behalf.
Please DONATE – The more people donate the more we can do
Thousands of families in Venezuela have lost everything after two devastating earthquakes struck on 24 June. Homes have been reduced to rubble, communities torn apart and thousands of people are now living in overcrowded tents in parks and schools with little access to clean water, toilets or basic hygiene.
The immediate emergency may have passed, but the recovery has only just begun.
Disaster Aid UK is preparing to deploy a Disaster Aid Response Team (DART) on behalf of Disaster Aid International to Venezuela this September. Working alongside our Rotary partners on the ground, the team will support communities through the long and difficult recovery phase, helping people rebuild their homes, restore essential services and regain their independence.
The need is immense, and without urgent action, poor sanitation and overcrowded conditions could lead to further health emergencies.
We believe the greatest need will be in the months ahead, when media attention has moved on but communities are still struggling to rebuild. That is when Disaster Aid UK will be there.
Every donation, whatever the size, will help us deliver practical support where it is needed most.
Please give what you can today. Share this appeal with your Rotary network and friends. Together, we can help families recover, rebuild and look to the future with hope.
We will continue to update you as we work with our Rotary contacts in the affected areas and prepare for deployment.

Dear All,On arrival Jamaica is a beautiful country with greenery everywhere, it’s only when you start to explore do you see the destruction. Every time you step outside, you see debris everywhere, abandoned buildings, dismantled powerlines and broken roads, but more alarmingly you see homes with no roofs, shattered windows or walls missing. I truly did not expect to see as much destruction as we did in some areas.
So far we have: completely removed and began the replacing process for the roof at the Uprising Church (where we are staying); visited the ‘Cuba’ area to determine how we could assist, then provided the materials to two families, one for complete reconstruction of a house and a new roof for another; visited a half finished home that the community of ‘Whitehouse’ have been teaming together to complete, a contractor has been contacted to finish the home, for the mother and her 15-year old son; and, an additional contractor has been contacted to construct a concrete roof for a home of seven young adults, that were born and raised in the area and now work in the tourism industry, they are all currently living in one room.

In contrast to many other disaster-response groups, our aim is also to provide an infrastructure that allows affected communities to regain their normal lives.
