Venezuelan citizens are suffering from one of the worst humanitarian crises in the world today. Severe malnutrition, lack of medicine, and corruption within the regime continues to plague its citizens, causing 87% of its population to fall into extreme poverty and an estimated 6.5 million individuals estimated to flee the nation this year alone.
Raising Awareness
Despite being in the midst of one of the worst humanitarian catastrophes in the world, international organizations, countries around the world, and everyday people often turn a blind eye towards the crisis. One of the initiatives of The Venezuela Project is to raise global awareness of the true severity of the situation.
Direct Aid
In 2020, it is estimated that approximately 17,500 Venezuelans will flee the country per day. As corruption, state sponsored violence, and economic collapse create turmoil throughout the nation, the time for direct aid is now.
Long Term Reform
Though raising awareness and providing aid will directly mitigate the suffering of Venezuelans today, only long term political and economic reform can create a permanent solution to the problems Venezuela is facing today.
