Project C.U.R.E. Sends Air Freight to Venezuela

Project C.U.R.E. chartered a Boeing 737 cargo jet and sent it to Venezuela.

The earthquakes that struck Caracas claimed more than 4,000 lives. They also damaged the hospitals and clinics that were supposed to treat the survivors. Medical workers, some of them victims themselves, kept showing up anyway. They needed supplies. Project C.U.R.E. sent them.

What went out

The shipment carried $744,000 in donated medical supplies and equipment: 662 boxes, 337 pieces of equipment, 8,918 kilograms in all. It included a 40-foot tent from Deployed Logix, large enough to treat dozens of injured patients at once. The flight went first to Miami, then on to Venezuela, bound for 10 hospitals and clinics.

None of it moved on its own. Aspect Holdings, a Denver-based energy company, underwrote the charter. Without that gift, this relief would have traveled by container, arriving weeks later rather than days.

This is what Phase II looks like: the work that keeps a recovery moving.

A history that didn't start with this earthquake

Project C.U.R.E.'s commitment to Venezuela goes back nearly a decade. Between 2016 and 2022, the organization delivered five medical cargo containers to five hospitals in Zulia state and Caracas. Those shipments carried a combined $1,987,936 in donated medical supplies and equipment. They reached an estimated 150,000 people.

"Project C.U.R.E.'s commitment to Venezuela did not begin with this earthquake," said Dr. Douglas Jackson, President and CEO of Project C.U.R.E. "For nearly a decade, our donors, volunteers and partners have helped place medical resources into Venezuelan hospitals. Today, we are building on that history to help healthcare professionals move from immediate disaster response toward recovery and rebuilding."

Partners doing what they each do best

No single organization can rebuild a healthcare system alone. Project C.U.R.E. sources, sorts, and ships the medical resources. VAMA Foundation brings physician-led clinical expertise, matching donations to verified need. Caritas Venezuela brings trusted local access; the relationships that get supplies from a warehouse into the hands of the people using them.

Donors gave the resources. Volunteers packed them. Aspect Holdings got them there fast.

What happens next

Project C.U.R.E.'s work doesn't end when a plane lands. We will keep sending aid to Venezuela until Venezuela no longer needs it.

Delivering health and hope, one shipment at a time. Donate today.
