Chamos Health Programmes for Children in Venezuela

Dear Donor,

As we approach mid 2021, we are happy to report that with the help of the funds donated through the GlobalGiving platform towards our Healthcare programme, and with the help of other fundraising strategies we have been able to fill a paediatric wheelchair container, once more in partnership with Walkabout Foundation and our local partners Fundaprocura.

This container will transform the lives of 120 kids and their families across Venezuela arriving by the last trimester of 2021.

It has been very challenging times for the children in Venezuela during the last year as the Covid pandemic has halted economic activities as well as social programmes, increasing the strain in an already collapsed heath system.

We are positive that the gift of mobility will impact enormously the lives of these children, by allowing them to be more independent, have more comfortable and healthy lives, and impacting their families indirectly as their family lives be transformed as well.

Please find attached some photos of our last distribution in 2019! Hopefully we will have new ones, from our next one by the end of the year.

Thank you for trusting us to deliver help to many suffering in Venezuela.

Thank you from all of us at CHAMOS
It is thanks to your donation, that it is all possible. 

We have been very busy during the past months finding ways to improve the health of the children in Venezuela. 

It has been hard during the coronavirus pandemic since many of our programmes have been halted, as in country restrictions make them impossible to operate.

Lockdown in Venezuela is starting to ease, and many economic activities have resumed, travel is restricted every other week and schools are planned to start in March. This will hopefully allow us to start planning and deliver our remote health programmes in the coming months.

In the meantime, we have secured a partnership to deliver a container of 110 paediatric wheelchairs. Our partners in Venezuela have a list of more than 120 kids across the country waiting for a wheelchair. We are hoping to raise the funds to fill this container by mid 2021 and distribute it, during the last trimester of this year. 

With the help of the funds donated through GlobalGiving platform to our Healthcare programme we will be able to pay for the costs and the delivery of some of the wheelchairs that will fill the container.

The cost and delivery to Venezuela of a paediatric wheelchair is approximately 400$, with your contribution we have added 5 chairs towards our target.

We hope that through the gift of mobility we can transform the lives of these children and their families.

Thank you for your trust and support. It makes a difference in the lives of the children of Venezuela.

The Team at Chamos In Aid of the Children of Venezuela.
