VisitWhere NOT to donate
Organizations that lost their independence. We recommend avoiding them as a donation channel.
Cruz Roja Venezolana
Since August 2023, the Supreme Tribunal of Justice intervened the Venezuelan Red Cross, removed its board and appointed a restructuring committee. Having lost its independence from the regime, it is no longer a neutral humanitarian channel: we recommend not donating through it.
