I welcome the new partners of @Zelenska_FND – Direct Relief, led by CEO Amy Weaver. Yesterday, we signed a $750,000 cooperation agreement. In 2027, these funds will help develop the Schools of Superheroes and psychosocial support programs for children. We plan to open five more educational spaces in hospitals and continue programs for children who need recovery and the opportunity to spend time with their peers. Childhood cannot be postponed until the war is over. I am grateful to Direct Relief for their trust and willingness to work together to create space for learning, development, and a better future.

In the West Bank, hospitals continuously face a short supply of medical necessities and equipment.
With support from @DirectRelief, Anera installed 44 medical refrigerators across 14 health facilities, expanding safe storage space for temperature sensitive medicines, particularly in emergency rooms and high-demand departments.
Beyond the equipment itself, this donation improves emergency preparedness, protects the quality of essential medicines, and eases the burden on frontline healthcare workers who operate in increasingly difficult conditions.

I am deeply saddened at the destruction and suffering caused by the recent earthquake in Venezuela. It’s during times like these, moments of crisis, that we really see the strength and heart of humanity shine through. We’re seeing that now with the fires affecting Colorado and the countless people volunteering and donating to help those being impacted. And we’re seeing the very same with support from Coloradans for our Venezuelan friends. I’m proud to see Coloradans stepping up to support those affected by this terrible disaster. We stand with you, Venezuela.
Some of the organizations Coloradans can support include:
International Red Cross (@ICRC)
Third Wave Volunteers
Global Empowerment Mission (@GEMmissions)
The Wayuu Taya Foundation (@wayuutaya)
Direct Relief (@DirectRelief)
World Central Kitchen (@WCKitchen)
And Many Others

In the days following the earthquakes in Venezuela, people across the globe have stepped up to help.
The GoFundMe community has already raised more than $20 million to support individuals, families, and nonprofit organizations responding on the ground.
@DirectRelief, @COREresponse, @GEMmissions, @AllHandsHearts, @WCKitchen, and so many others have mobilized to provide food, clean water, medical care, and other critical support.
But the work is far from over, and Venezuelans need your help.

In response to the devastating earthquakes that struck Venezuela, AWMH is granting $100,000 in support through longtime partner @directrelief.
While the full scale of the damage is yet to be determined, the United Nations is reporting that up to 6.8 million Venezuelans may be affected, including those displaced or losing access to electricity and water. More than 68,000 people were reported missing within three days of the disaster, and the official death toll is approaching 2,000.
Direct Relief is preparing medical aid commonly needed after earthquakes, including first-aid supplies, hygiene items for displaced families, medicines used to treat acute injuries, and chronic disease medications for people whose access to routine care may be interrupted.
AWMH’s $100,000 grant will support Direct Relief as the organization continues to respond to requests in the region as they become known.

Yesterday in Bunia, DRC, VillageReach and @DirectRelief marked an important milestone in supporting the Ebola response in Ituri province, DRC, with the symbolic handover of personal protective equipment (PPE) and essential medicines.
Delivered to the Emergency Operations Committee (EoC) and the General Hospital of Bunia, these supplies will help protect frontline health workers and expand access to safe care for people affected by the outbreak.
An initial batch of more than 263,000 PPE items is already supporting the response—with additional shipments on the way—strengthening efforts to protect communities and reduce transmission.
This handover reflects continued collaboration with government and partners to ensure that those on the frontlines have the tools they need to respond effectively.
