The Earth moved Chile: now you move for them!

At 3:34 a.m. on February 27th, an earthquake of apocalyptic magnitude hit Chile, leaving an outcome of pain and destruction that is difficult to even imagine:

- 2 million affected

- 795 dead according to official figures, but there are still hundreds of missing persons and towns that still don't know of the impact of the catastrophe

- Several Tsunamis with waves between 5 and 15 meters hit several coastal cities throughout the country

- A destruction initially evaluated at more than U$30 billion dollars, according to international organizations

Without question, a natural disaster of magnitudes not seen for more than 30 years. Chile needs your help today, mainly through donations that will be administered by a christian organization and converted into help...

How can you help?

Ayuda Donando together with the Sociedad Biblica Chilena (Christian Organization with an excellent reputation and leadership in the chilean christian and secular community) have joined forces to coordinate the help that is urgently needed by those affected by the earthquake. Sociedad Biblica, a Non-Profit Organization with more than 150 years in the country, is not financially dependent on donations, therefore we ensure that the donations collected through this medium will go 100% to the people that need your help.

What is the Economic Aid for?

- For the distribution of 10,000 Basic Food Baskets with an average price of U$15 each
- Distribution of 100 Water Filters for the purification of drinking water
- 100 electric generators to alleviate the energy deficit in the most affected areas
- 1,000 5-person igloo tents that will alleviate homelessness
- 1,000 contruction material kits (hammers, saws, drills, etc) to help those families that need to re-construct their homes
- 10,000 portions with biblical messages adapted for emergency situations, promoting a greater resilience of the population facing this catastrophe, helping to recuperate the Chilean state of mind.
