On 10 August, a devastating earthquake struck Colombia, causing loss of life and severe damage to infrastructure. Pereira and Cali, two of the cities most affected, are home to projects supported by the Limmat Foundation for children, young people and caregivers in vulnerable situations.

The earthquake has severely affected public schools in Pereira where the Foundation Iwoka works, as well as the homes of childminders in Cali who have been trained through the project Saberes of the Foundation Carvajal.

The Limmat Foundation wants to help ensure that the progress made over recent years is not interrupted and that the affected communities can continue to receive vital support. A Colombia Emergency Relief Fund has therefore been established. Anyone wishing to support the affected children, young people and caregivers can contribute via the donation account of the Limmat Foundation below. Donations are tax-deductible.
