The story, in brief
After the earthquake in Venezuela, families had no single, reliable place to report and search for missing relatives. Venezuela Reporta is an independent civic effort built by volunteers to fill that gap: a free registry that consolidates community reports and hospital admission lists into one searchable place, optimized for mobile phones, slow connections, and sharing over WhatsApp.
It is not funded by or affiliated with any political party, government, or political organization. It is non-profit, run by civil society, and exists solely to help reunite families.
