Commitment to vulnerable populations.

Proyecto Once Trece committed to supporting vulnerable populations in Venezuela, including indigenous communities, people in prison, the LGBT community, and people living in extreme poverty.

Our work focuses on providing access to medical care, health education, disease prevention, and psychosocial support, ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to improve their well-being and exercise their fundamental rights.

We work to provide access to essential resources—such as medications, preventive supplies, and comprehensive care clinics—by overcoming geographical, economic, and social barriers.

Our approach is rooted in empathy, respect for diversity, and human dignity. We recognize the specific needs of each community and provide solutions that promote inclusion, equality, and the creation of a healthier and more just future for everyone.

In Venezuela, a significant portion of the population lives in extreme poverty, which means a daily struggle to access basic necessities such as food, clean water, adequate housing, and medical care.

The prolonged economic crisis has led to rising inflation, unemployment, and shortages of essential goods, leaving millions of people in extremely precarious situations. Those living in extreme poverty often reside in marginalized urban areas, low-income neighborhoods, or remote rural communities, where infrastructure is inadequate and access to basic services—such as electricity, sanitation, and education—is limited or nonexistent.

In addition, food insecurity has led to high rates of malnutrition, particularly among children and the elderly, while the lack of access to medicines and health services has increased the incidence of chronic and preventable diseases. People in these vulnerable circumstances face significant barriers to improving their quality of life, which requires ongoing efforts to provide them with humanitarian aid, medical care, and education and prevention programs that enable them to break the cycle of poverty and access their fundamental rights.
