Lasallians respond to flooding crisis in Brazil

Lasallian institutions in Porto Alegre, Canoas, Esteio and Sapucaia do Sul are currently surrounded by water and have been evacuated due to floodwaters' penetration into the sewage system, which poses a significant risk of spreading infectious diseases.

Thanks to your generosity, The Lasallian Foundation has raised €30,704 to aid our educational communities and flood victims in Brazil.

The recent floods, the worst in Brazil's history, have claimed over 150 lives and displaced 580,000 individuals in the state of Rio Grande do Sul.

Thankfully, the waters are receding, allowing us to assess damages as we prepare to reopen our evacuated schools.

350 families of our teachers and 1500 families of our students have lost everything, finding refuge in our non-evacuated schools alongside those in dire need.

Universidade La Salle Canoas alone has sheltered 1450 people. Flood victims urgently need water, food, clothing, and shelter.

Your contribution to the Lasallian Emergency Fund can ensure all these necessities to them.

Your donation makes a significant impact, offering the urgent assistance they need now.

Donate now to the Lasallian Emergency Response Fund to provide food and basic necessities to those affected by this calamity.
