Las Mercedes

A village on the banks of the Atrato, founded by ten families in 1813. Its people live from the river, from fishing and from farming. This was the first shipment we sent.

  1. Twisted zinc sheets and charred posts where houses used to stand.

    The fire

    Before dawn, fire destroyed 11 homes. Families lost their belongings, the outboard motors they use on the river, their generators and their work tools. Then the river flooded the streets.

  2. Bags and boxes of donated clothes, blankets and supplies, ready to travel.

    The call

    We launched #LasMercedesNosNecesita and opened two collection points, in Dosquebradas and in Quibdó. Every contribution was coordinated by WhatsApp and logged.

  3. What the fire left in Las Mercedes: this is where we brought the aid.

    24 – 25 Oct
