Feed children in Venezuela

Daily meals, clean water and school supplies for children in the hillside barrios of Caracas.

In the barrios that climb the hills around Caracas, many families cannot cover a full week of food. Children skip school to queue for groceries or to work, and a meal at school is often the only one they can count on.

This appeal funds hot meals, drinking water and school kits through community kitchens run by local volunteers. Food is bought from local markets so the money also stays in the neighbourhood.
