We stand in solidarity with our colleagues in Nepal and Colombia.
Both countries have been severely affected by natural disasters in recent days. People have lost their homes, major transportation routes have been cut off, and entire regions are facing enormous challenges.
Our colleagues and partners are on the ground. They are experiencing first-hand what this situation means for the people, their communities, and their own families. Our work has also been affected: some roads are impassable, planned operations must be postponed, and much of what seemed certain just a few days ago is suddenly uncertain.
The most important thing for us right now is the safety of our teams and partners. At the same time, our solidarity goes out to all those affected by these events.
GoodVision is not a disaster relief organization. To provide immediate assistance to those affected, organizations that specialize in emergency aid and can provide quick and targeted help are needed now.
Our work is focused on the long term. In Nepal and Colombia, we are working together with local teams and partners to create sustainable access to good vision. We will continue this work even after the acute crisis has passed.
After all, reliable local structures are especially important in the wake of severe crises. Good vision creates opportunities: it facilitates education and employment, enables greater participation in society, and helps prevent accidents. In this way, it supports people in shaping their daily lives on their own terms.
Today, our special solidarity goes out to our colleagues, partners, and the people of Nepal and Colombia. Our thoughts are with you.
