MEDICAL SUPPLIES - COVID-19
We continued with our medical supplies donation programme in partnership with NGOs and health centres mostly in rural Venezuela benefiting. In 2021, more than 5,000 people received medicines that could not have afforded otherwise.
FOOD PROGRAMME
Our food programmes to prevent malnutrition in children from low-income backgrounds continued to be a success. In Caracas, the two schools we support could resume their activities, and in Guaraunos Village children from the poorest families continued to be fed on a daily basis. Thanks to our donors, partners and volunteers, in 2021 we delivered more than 200,000 meals.
JUNIOR DOCTORS
Some of the most moving testimonies we receive are from our Junior Doctors. Thanks to our $20 monthly donation, they can afford food or transportation or they can buy medical supplies for their patients. Through them, we reach thousands of people. This is why in 2021 we increased the number of scholarships and now we are supporting on a monthly basis 140 Junior Doctors. We hope to keep expanding this programme in 2022.
INFRASTRUCTURE
An efficient way to deliver medical assistance to low-income Venezuelans is to improve the infrastructure of state hospitals. In 2021, we donated 4 critical equipment to two of the largest hospitals in Venezuela with a combined footfall of 30,000 people per year. We also improved the water treatment plants we installed in 3 hospitals to guarantee staff, patients and visitors the best quality of water.
HOW WE DID IT
Thanks to the generosity of our donors and the unwavering support of our volunteers, in 2021 we managed to raise enough funds to continue with our programmes in Venezuela . In November, we had a star-studded gala in Madrid to inaugurate our branch there and the generosity of the artists who participated was extraordinary. Our volunteers ran for us, walked for us, cycled for us and always with a big, Venezuelan smile in their face! To you, to them, to our people in Venezuela a big
THANK YOU and all the best for 2022!
