Cali Needs
Us Now.
On August 10, a powerful 7.4-magnitude earthquake struck western Colombia, leaving families facing loss, damaged homes, and an uncertain road ahead.
In seconds, thousands of lives changed.
On the morning of August 10, 2026, a magnitude 7.4 earthquake struck western Colombia. Communities across the region were affected, including areas of Chocó, Valle del Cauca and Risaralda, leaving damaged homes, disrupted communities and urgent humanitarian needs.
Our focus
is Cali.
While communities across western Colombia have been affected, our effort is focused on helping families in Cali and surrounding communities impacted by the earthquake.
These are our neighbors, our families and our communities. Recovery will take time, but help can begin today.
“Behind every damaged home is a family, a story and a life that changed in seconds.”
This Is What Our
Community Is Facing.
These are not images from somewhere far away. They are our streets, our neighborhoods and our communities. Behind every damaged wall is a family facing the difficult reality of what comes next.
