Venezuela

Our work in Venezuela

The current humanitarian crisis in Venezuela has left thousands of people without access to food, education, healthcare, or a means of making a living. While some Venezuelans continue to flee to other countries, the number of voluntary and forced returnees is now increasing, adding to a large number of already vulnerable communities.

Based on a shared discernment and a deep understanding of the context and its institutional mission, JRS Venezuela has defined a strategy that provides direction, consistency, and structure to its work, grounded in four strategic pillars.
