Colombia and Venezuela launch earthquake recovery and housing aid programs

Recovery efforts following recent major earthquakes in Colombia and Venezuela are progressing through various government and private initiatives.

In Colombia, the UNGRD has begun distributing 13,599 million pesos in economic aid to families in Risaralda, while 1,185 million pesos have been allocated to Quimbaya, Quindío. Additionally, the 'Adopta un Hogar' program, supported by Nicky Jam and Grupo Argos with a 13,000 million peso contribution, aims to rebuild approximately 1,000 homes across several departments, including Antioquia.

In Venezuela, the 'Venezuela Renace' program has reached 85% completion for housing construction in Juan José Mora, Carabobo. To support further reconstruction, the Banco de Venezuela, along with Banco Digital de los Trabajadores and Banco del Tesoro, has launched a subsidized social credit program for families with severely damaged homes. Meanwhile, in Caracas and Miranda, many residents remain in uncertainty as they await detailed structural engineering assessments for buildings marked with a 'red label' due to severe damage.
