Our Communities Need Us

For years, Breaking Silence Movement has worked alongside communities in the Philippines and Venezuela through survivor support, community education, advocacy, and local partnerships. We've built relationships with survivors, volunteers, and community leaders who continue to inspire our work every day.

On June 8, 2026, a magnitude 7.8 earthquake struck off the coast of Sarangani, Mindanao, causing widespread damage across southern Mindanao. Communities in Sarangani Province, General Santos City, South Cotabato, Sultan Kudarat, and parts of Davao experienced damaged homes, landslides, power outages, and the displacement of thousands of families.

Then, on June 24, 2026, northern Venezuela was struck by two powerful earthquakes measuring 7.2 and 7.5 just seconds apart. Communities across La Guaira, Caracas, and nearby areas have been left with collapsed buildings, damaged hospitals and schools, disrupted essential services, and families trying to recover from unimaginable loss.

When disasters happen, women and children often face additional risks. Families may lose access to healthcare, safe housing, childcare, and income. Crowded evacuation centers and temporary shelters can also increase the risk of gender-based violence and exploitation. As an organization dedicated to supporting survivors, we know these challenges don't end when the ground stops shaking.

That's why we're launching the Emergency Earthquake Relief Fund for the Philippines & Venezuela.

Funds raised through this campaign will help provide emergency assistance through our trusted volunteers and local partners. Depending on what's needed most, donations may go toward food, clean water, hygiene supplies, baby and maternal essentials, temporary shelter, medical care, psychosocial support, and other urgent assistance for women, children, and families.

We'll share updates throughout this campaign so you can see how your support is making a difference in the communities we serve.

Thank you for standing with the Philippines and Venezuela during this time of recovery.
