Colombia is not alone
There are two verified ways to help after the Colombia earthquake: find a loved one on the citizen registry, and give through organizations vetted by the BBB, Charity Navigator and the UN. A magnitude 7.4 quake hit southwestern Colombia on August 10, 2026, epicenter near San José del Palmar, in Chocó; it tore through Chocó, Valle del Cauca, Risaralda, Caldas and Quindío, with Cali and Pereira among the worst hit, and rain and flooding made it worse.

The quake damaged hospitals, roads and homes right when they were needed most, and the rain that followed made access harder. In that setting, giving money is the fastest way for help to arrive: it lets responders buy and move exactly what is needed, without overloading a supply chain that is already stretched.

Frequently asked questions
Where do I search for a missing loved one in Colombia?
On the citizen registry Colombia Te Busca you can report a person, browse cases and share them. It is a search tool, not a donation site, and does not replace the authorities; verify the information before sharing it.
Which organization can I give to safely?
Vetted channels: GlobalGiving and Direct Relief (rated by the BBB and Charity Navigator), the official UN campaign at UN Crisis Relief, and the Colombian Red Cross through the IFRC. Every gift is made on the organization's own secure site.
Is it better to give money or drop goods at a collection point?
The Colombian Red Cross asks for money over goods, because it buys exactly what is needed and speeds up logistics. If you bring supplies, only bring what the collection point is actually requesting.
Can I donate from outside Colombia?
Yes. GlobalGiving, Direct Relief and UN Crisis Relief accept international donations by card and other methods; in the United States several are tax-deductible.
How do I avoid a donation scam?
Use only verified channels, be wary of anyone who only takes crypto or gift cards, do not confuse a missing-person registry with a fundraiser, and check the site's domain before you give.

Finding people and giving money are two different things. Do not treat a missing-person registry like a fundraiser.
