Help Families Affected by the Colombia Earthquake

CLWR is responding through the Lutheran World Federation (LWF), working with local partners on the ground.

A magnitude 7.4 earthquake has struck the department of Chocó, Colombia, one of the country’s most vulnerable and underserved regions. Homes have collapsed, roads and infrastructure are severely damaged, and families are sleeping outdoors, afraid to return to unstable buildings. More than 100 people have been confirmed dead, with the toll expected to rise as search efforts continue.

CLWR's partner, the Lutheran World Federation, is on the ground with local partners assessing urgent needs and preparing to scale up emergency support.
