El Poblado
Since August 2026 · ongoing
In El Poblado, Quibdó, we are assessing households door to door after the 2026 earthquake. The work began in August 2026 and is still ongoing.
OngoingAssessing households means listening with a method. After the earthquake of 10 August 2026, instead of handing things out blindly, we began walking through El Poblado, in Quibdó, door to door: who lives in each home, what was damaged, what is most urgently missing.
The work began in August 2026, led by the founding team, before the foundation was legally constituted on 8 October 2026. The household assessment is still ongoing today.
Why we start this way
Aid that does not begin with an assessment often arrives late, duplicated, or to those who need it least. With a household assessment, every decision can be explained: why one family goes first, what is delivered and why.
This is the same method we later used in Las Mercedes and follow in every campaign. Families’ data is used only to prioritise aid and is never published: we report with aggregated figures.
Who supports us
Our field teams are trained and supported through an academic alliance with the Master’s in Public Health at Fundación Universitaria del Área Andina.
