Snapshots of Venezuelan migrants and their new lives in Medellín.
Why Medellín?
Medellín is the second largest city in Colombia and one of the most popular areas for Venezuelan immigrants to re-settle. Our hope is that the stories we gathered in Colombia will shed light on Venezuelans’ struggles and inspire positive change for the millions of people displaced by the humanitarian crisis in their home country.
How to Help
Many nonprofit organizations provide aid to Venezuelans in Venezuela and abroad.
