Colombia Needs Your Support

On the morning of August 10th, a powerful 7.4-magnitude earthquake struck Colombia, leaving people dead and injured, homes destroyed, and critical infrastructure, including public services like water, health, energy, education, and telecommunications, severely damaged across multiple departments. Thousands of families have lost everything overnight.

IOM teams are already on the ground, working alongside Colombian authorities and humanitarian partners to assess the most urgent needs and deliver emergency assistance, including shelter, clean water, and essential supplies.

This is a critical moment. In the hours and days after a disaster like this, the speed of response determines how many lives are saved. Your gift today helps IOM reach a family that needs a roof tonight, safe drinking water for an isolated community, or psychosocial support for someone who has lost everything.

Colombia needs us right now. Please donate today.
