Last year we learned about Food for the Poor’s unique approach to disaster relief. Now, with COVID-19, the charity is facing another emergency situation.
COCONUT CREEK, Fla. (Oct. 16, 2019) – On a recent visit, Minuto de Dios and Food For The Poor talked about a shared vision for how they can help Venezuelan migrants rebuild their lives in Colombia.
The two charities want to provide counseling and job skills training to Venezuelans who have fled to Colombia because of their home country’s economic collapse.
An estimated 30,000 Venezuelans are entering Colombia every day, including about 5,000 in the border city of Cucuta.
