Message of the President of "Friends of Colombia for Social Aid":
Colombia continues to endure one of the worst winters in its history. Since last November persistent torrential rains have caused serious flooding in many regions of the country. Countless families have been affected and have lost their homes and all their belongings as several rivers have burst their banks and inundated many towns.  As is usually the case, the children are the most affected.

You can help by giving a monetary donation to the Colombian Flood Relief Appeal administered by Friends of Colombia for Social Aid (FOCSA) Registered Charity #274778. All donations received will be transferred directly to the Trust Fund set up by the Government Foundation "Colombia Humanitaria", which has been created to accept monetary donations that will be allocated to help people and organisations working on the ground.
 
Donations can be paid into the FOCSA account in the UK:
