El Poblado, Quibdó, door to door
Since August 2026 we have been assessing households in El Poblado, Quibdó, door to door after the earthquake, to prioritise families. The work is ongoing.
The earthquake of 10 August 2026 hit the El Poblado neighbourhood in Quibdó (Chocó). Our response began with the most basic and the hardest step: going door to door.
That work began in August 2026, led by the founding team, before the foundation was legally constituted on 8 October 2026, and it is still ongoing.
In each home we recorded who lives there, what was damaged and what is most urgently missing. With that assessment we can prioritise families fairly and with a differential approach, putting the best interests of children and adolescents first.
Why it matters
Aid that does not begin with an assessment often arrives late, duplicated, or to those who need it least. Assessing households lets us explain every decision.
Families’ data is used only to prioritise aid. We never publish personal data or the faces of minors: when we report, we use aggregated figures.
