Venezuelan Refugees in Colombia

Tuesday, December 14, 2021 | 3 - 4 PM EST

Catholic Relief Services and the Secretariado Nacional de Pastoral Social/Caritas Colombiana invite you to join this special online event.

Learn about the way that the Secretariado Nacional de Pastoral Social/Caritas Colombiana and CRS are responding to the unprecedented movement of vulnerable populations throughout Latin America and the Caribbean, the most significant of which has been the displacement of more than 6 million Venezuelans since 2015.

The webinar will highlight the work of the Secretariado Nacional de Pastoral Social/Caritas Colombiana and the support provided by CRS through the EMPOWER program in caring for that country’s 2 million displaced Venezuelans neighbors who now reside in Colombia. Through this webinar, we seek to deepen connections with critical CRS stakeholders.
