Fundana (Fundación Amigos del Niño que Amerita Protección / Fundana International Corp)

Venezuelan foundation with more than three decades protecting children aged 0 to 8 in Caracas, with a live earthquake-dedicated campaign ("Todos somos Venezuela / Terremoto 2026"). The diaspora donor pays abroad without touching Venezuelan banking: 501(c)(3) in Florida, Regions Bank account in the US, Banesco Panama, PayPal, Venmo, Zelle and GlobalGiving.

In brief

Fundana has operated since 1991 as a care and foster-placement entity for vulnerable children aged 0 to 8 in Caracas, alongside family-strengthening programs and support for women victims of violence. After the double earthquake of June 24, 2026, it activated the dedicated campaign "Todos somos Venezuela / Campaña Terremoto 2026." Donors abroad can contribute in USD via PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, transfer to its Regions Bank account (US) or through GlobalGiving with a tax deduction, all outside the Venezuelan banking system.
