CAVEN
"CADENA and ADRA for Venezuelans in Colombia" is a project implemented by ADRA Colombia in cooperation with the CADENA Foundation.
The Adventist Development and Relief Agency (ADRA) is the humanitarian arm of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, established with the purpose of economically and socially developing disadvantaged communities and helping to minimize the effects of disasters. ADRA has a presence in more than 119 countries around the world and carries out its mission without discrimination based on race, gender, or political or religious beliefs.
CADENA is a nonprofit civil association dedicated to prevention and assistance in crises and disasters around the world, delivering direct hand-to-hand aid to those most in need. CADENA is the humanitarian arm of the Jewish communities worldwide and works to inspire and mobilize people to be humanitarian, with the goal of building a resilient, just, and equitable world for all.
Between November 2022 and December 2023, thanks to the cooperation between ADRA and the CADENA Foundation, this project was implemented to provide general medical consultations with an emphasis on pregnant women, ultrasounds, and medical care for children aged 0 to 14 years,
from the Venezuelan migrant population and host community (Colombians) who faced barriers to accessing healthcare services in Bucaramanga and its extended metropolitan area, including the municipalities of Girón, Floridablanca, Piedecuesta, Lebrija, El Playón, and Rionegro.
The care was provided through sessions in ADRA Colombia’s Mobile Medical Unit (UMM).
