Help Venezuela Recover after the Earthquakes
On June 24, Venezuela was struck by two powerful earthquakes just seconds apart. The destruction has been immense, leaving thousands of families without homes and entire communities in urgent need of assistance.
Miami Institute of Photography is a small business founded and run by Venezuelans. Like so many in our community, we have family, friends, and loved ones there.


The Need Doesn't End With the Rescue
International rescue teams and humanitarian organizations from all over the world are already responding, but recovery will take months, and likely years.
In Venezuela, civil organizations have long been the ones providing ongoing support during times of crisis. Once the emergency response ends and the headlines fade, many affected families will continue relying on these organizations for food, medical care, shelter, and rebuilding assistance.
