World Vision on the Ground in Chile

World Vision charity workers are currently on the ground trying to help the estimated 2 million people whose lives have been devastated by the earthquake and tsunami that hit Chile’s coastal towns. The devastation, which brought down buildings and killed hundreds of people, has left many people homeless and without food and shelter.

The World Vision distribution team was on the ground within 48 hours, handing out blankets and water containers to earthquake survivors. Having worked in Chile for 30 years already, World Vision is gearing itself up one of the biggest relief efforts the country has ever seen.

With relief supplies already in the capital of Santiago, with more water tanks, purification tablets, cooking items, hygiene kits, blankets are being transported from regional hubs to families in and around the devastation.
