Fundraise Venezuela Global

Venezuela Global is a non-profit organization duly registered with the Brazilian authorities with the aim of promoting the socio-economic integration of Venezuelan migrants and refugees into Brazilian society. To this end, we work with an emphasis on serving Venezuelan migrants and refugees in the city of Rio de Janeiro and other parts of Brazil, in partnership with a wide network of organizations and individuals. 


The birth of Venezuela Global was the result of the voluntary work of the Venezuelan community in Rio de Janeiro, at least since 2014. From that year on, we started to create a support network for Venezuelan migrants and refugees in vulnerable situations. Our actions focused on assistance with food, medication, temporary financial support for access to housing, information on public services, including Brazilian government social programs, migration regularization and employment opportunities. The result of this articulation effort allowed the construction of an extensive network of organizations and people that today work together in Rio de Janeiro and other parts of Brazil. 


Venezuela Global has been greatly supported by fundraising efforts led by friends and supporters of the project. However, our efforts are still far from the extent we would like to help. Please, help us to continue and expand our work. With your contribution, we will be able to help more Venezuelan families in their process of socioeconomic integration into Brazilian society.


Our Projects in 2024

Currently, our organization is working on projects focused on social assistance, migration regularization and economic integration.

The Itinerant Immigration Consultancy Project

Among the initiatives is the Itinerant Immigration Consultancy Project, a pioneering action in partnership with the company Immigration Consulting and the NGO Ação Floresta da Barra, to aid Venezuelan migrants and refugees located in communities in the west zone of Rio de Janeiro, with the process of regularization of immigration and labor documentation. Consultancies are carried out directly in the community of Morro do Banco, Itanhangá, allowing to support more than 100 people since April 2021.


Naturalizadinho

The Naturalizadinho Project, also launched in partnership with Immigration Consulting, is an initiative that seeks to support Venezuelan parents in the process of provisional naturalization of their children in Brazil, taking advantage of the facilities offered by Brazilian legislation in this area. 

+ Solidarity

+ Solidarity aims to support Venezuelan families in vulnerable situations in Rio de Janeiro through the donation of basic food baskets and other essential products. The project is funded by voluntary contributions, allowing support to more than 140 families since May 2020. In the next stages, the initiative will seek to collect the necessary support to finance training courses for Venezuelan migrants and refugees in the skills and occupations required by the Rio market.

Employment for All

Venezuela Global promotes the integration of Venezuelan migrants and refugees into the formal job market. To achieve this, our team works on establishing partnerships with companies interested in hiring qualified workers. At the same time, we manage a virtual human resources office, aiming to identify the most suitable profiles to apply for positions offered by partner companies. Simultaneously, Venezuela Global plans and executes training initiatives to ensure better performance of candidates in the selection processes.


Entrepreneurial Route

It is an initiative by Venezuela Global, in collaboration with Ideia Consultoria and Aldeias Infantis SOS Brasil, with the goal of supporting 30 Venezuelan migrant and refugee women in Rio de Janeiro in establishing rapidly growing businesses on solid and sustainable foundations. The project aims to assist women facing greater challenges in entering the formal job market, such as single mothers and the elderly. By doing so, the objective is to empower the beneficiaries to generate income and meet personal and family expenses.
