In response to the devastation caused by a 7.8 magnitude earthquake on Saturday in Ecuador, Global Impact has established the Ecuador Earthquake Relief Fund to provide critical humanitarian assistance to the region. The fund will support the rescue, relief and rebuilding efforts of international charities on the ground.
Hitting the Pacific coast of Ecuador, the powerful earthquake has killed more than 500 people and injured thousands more. In addition to the earthquake on Saturday, a second earthquake with a 6.2 magnitude shook the area today, causing even more destruction for the people of Ecuador. Global Impact charity partners are providing clean drinking water, food supplies, relief kits, necessary medical attention and safe shelter to those in need.
“Major natural disasters require a collaborative effort to address the full scope of such a tragedy,” said Scott Jackson, Global Impact President and CEO. “The Ecuador Earthquake Relief Fund will provide additional resources to our charity partners as they assist with the immediate needs of the region and continue to support those affected in the months to come.”
