Convoy of Hope teams are headed to Chile to assess damage, coordinate relief efforts and provide clean water for victims of the 8.8-magnitude earthquake that rocked the South American country last Saturday.
“Our team is headed in with 40 water systems that collectively have a maximum capacity of over 19,000 gallons.” says Kary Kingsland, vice president of disaster response.
Help provide water to Chileans with a secure donation.
More than 700 people died in the earthquake and it is estimated that more than 500,000 homes have been destroyed.
“There are still areas of Chile where there is not a clear accounting for how many people have died or were injured,” says Kingsland. “The need is great and our teams will acquire resources in country to help meet the needs of those effected by the earthquake.”
