Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about this donation
At midday on 9 October 2026 a magnitude 7.7 earthquake struck off the Azuero peninsula in southern Panama. The heaviest damage was reported in Herrera with Los Santos and Veraguas close behind.
Yes. We reached Azuero with our local partner less than two hours after the earthquake struck. We are reaching families now and organising the aid together with them.
Thank you for asking. Your gift supports our crew's work in the Panama earthquake. In the first days we check damaged homes and help the injured and the elderly to safety. Families whose homes are unsafe receive tents and tarpaulins and clean water. Hot meals and food that needs no cooking go out together with first aid and hygiene supplies.
The power failed after the earthquake and water treatment plants have been running at a fraction of their output. While tap water cannot be trusted we bring clean water to families ourselves.
Sadly yes. Aftershocks above magnitude 6 followed within hours and were felt most around Tonosí. Cracked houses are not safe to enter so we stay close to families outdoors.
Many older rural homes in Azuero are built from mud and cane. Their walls can split easily in aftershocks so we check these homes first.
We truly appreciate the thought. Needs on the ground change from hour to hour so our crew decides each day's work on site. This way your gift meets the need of that day without delay.
Within 72 hours you will see the province and district in your account along with the day of the response. The task your gift covered is listed there too.
Permanent housing and repairs are led by the government's own programme. This appeal is focused on shelter and water and food in the first days.
Families moving to safety are welcome to bring their dogs and cats with them. Azuero is cattle country and our crew takes care not to separate families from their pets.
Your receipt is emailed to you as soon as your donation goes through and it carries your donation number.
Your gift stays with our crew working in the Panama earthquake and is never moved to another campaign.
You can give on our website or in our iOS and Android app. For everyone's safety we do not accept cash.
