When the twin earthquakes struck, We Love Foundation put its own startup capital to work, raised through our GoFundMe and the global Venezuelan diaspora, and brought in Global Empowerment Mission as our allied partner, alongside the U.S. State Department, for the emergency response. 100 days in, this is what that initiative has delivered.

Rebuild

The rebuild is We Love Foundation's own initiative.

Letter from our President

Santi Chumaceiro

I Love Venezuela Foundation was born in 2013 from the need to do something for our beloved country: Venezuela. We are so proud of our work in Venezuela, and it shall continue. Along the way we discovered that our mission is to give more people love and opportunity. We also learned that our passion spreads us beyond borders. Therefore, we renewed our identity to We Love Foundation.

What started as a dream has become a reality beyond our imagination. The joy that gives bringing hope to people that don’t have a lot means the world. People joining forces for the good of humanity is the greatest power there can be. It is an unstoppable force that achieves real and humble greatness.

Santi Chumaceiro, Co-Founder & President
