    What's happening in Quindío & Risaralda, Colombia

    A major earthquake struck Quindío and Risaralda, damaging homes, clinics and water systems across the coffee region.

    Verified partners are already delivering medicine, wound care and medical supplies to health workers on the ground - and they will keep showing up long after the headlines move on.

    Disasters fade from the feed. Rebuilding doesn't.

    When a crisis hits, giving surges - then the world moves on. But families are still rebuilding homes, clinics and water systems long after the headlines stop.

    Ritmo turns one moment of care into steady support. Give once today, and keep giving a little each day so the same community is still standing strong months from now.

    $3 = one dose of medicine

    Each dose is a day's worth of medicine for someone being treated after the earthquake - antibiotics, wound care, or a refill for a chronic condition when the local pharmacy is gone.

    Questions, answered

    Where does my money actually go?+

    Your money is sent to the verified 501(c)(3) nonprofit working on this response, and you can track exactly where it went right in the Ritmo app.

    How do I know the nonprofit is real?+

    Every partner is a registered 501(c)(3) with a public EIN, screened before it ever appears in the app. You can see the EIN and operating region right on this page.

    Do I get a tax receipt?+

    Yes. Receipts are handled automatically in the app - you'll have everything you need at tax time without chasing paperwork.

    Can I stop after the emergency?+

    Any time, in two taps. Give for a day, a week, or keep going for whatever comes next.

    Why keep giving after the emergency is out of the news?+

    Most disaster donations happen in the first few days, but recovery takes years. A small daily gift keeps funding flowing to the same verified nonprofit as the long work of rebuilding continues.

    Start today. It's one tap.

    Give what you can to health & crisis response and watch it add up.
