Colombia Earthquake Emergency<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One Colombia, many hands, multiple ways to help<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On August 10, 2026, Colombia experienced firsthand how, in a matter of seconds, everything that seemed firm could be shaken. A magnitude 7.4 earthquake, centered in San Jos\u00e9 del Palmar, Choc\u00f3, at a depth of 103 kilometers, struck a large portion of the national territory, becoming the highest magnitude earthquake recorded in Colombia in the 21st century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Society of Jesus in Colombia<\/strong> has launched a unified institutional response that coordinates its entire Apostolic Body across the country: schools, pastoral ministries, universities, social centers, the Ignatian Youth Network, and Fe y Alegr\u00eda. Working together under a single action plan, we combine capacities, resources, and teams to accompany the most vulnerable communities affected by the earthquake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This response encompasses both immediate humanitarian relief and the recovery and reconstruction processes that will be required over the coming months, with a special focus on the individuals and communities facing the highest vulnerability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
