Chamos is a registered charity in the UK and Spain, with the mission of improving outcomes for children in Venezuela.
Chamos was founded in 2007, with the initial aim of raising funds in the UK to improve infrastructure in schools, bridging the achievement gap for children living in under-resourced situations.
The complex humanitarian crisis that has devastated the country in recent years, disproportionately affecting children, caused us to widen our approach. We now focus on two areas, health and education, and continue to support our local partners in the work they do to improve outcomes for children in these areas.
In 2019, we became a registered charity in Spain, widening our scope for raising funds and awareness. Our teams in both countries now work closely together to carry out our charitable activities.
Our team and board of trustees are made up almost entirely of Venezuelan nationals, and we have over 13 years of experience working in Venezuela.
As well as raising and distributing funds, we also run events and campaigns to raise awareness, increase understanding and promote solidarity.
We work in 16 of the 23 states, in both rural and urban environments - including in places where larger aid programmes do not reach.
The majority of our team work pro-bono, meaning we have low administration costs – so more of our funds go directly to our projects.
