NEACOL-New England Association for Colombian Children

A week after the earthquake that shook western Colombia, the road to recovery is far from over. Families in Chocó, Cali, Pereira, and Manizales are still without homes, schools are still closed, and children are still adjusting to a reality turned upside down.

At NEACOL, our fundraising campaign remains open, and every donation continues to support the families and children who need it most as they rebuild.
If you've already given, thank you 💛. If you haven't yet, there's still time to make a difference, and it's not too late to share this with someone who might want to help too.
