Communities grow stronger when people regain the ability
to rebuild their future.
August 10 changed the lives of thousands of Colombians, but not their will to move forward. After an emergency, rebuilding means standing up again, regaining independence, and feeling that the future is still possible.
That is why the Colombian Society of Occupational Medicine (SCMT) is joining the CIREC Foundation's Humanitarian Fund Colombia, turning knowledge and solidarity into rehabilitation, mobility, care, and new opportunities for the affected communities.

Experience with Humanitarian Emergencies
The CIREC Foundation has 50 years of experience in high-complexity habilitation and comprehensive rehabilitation in Colombia.
That is why we are once again putting our capabilities at the service of communities affected by major emergencies, as we did with the Armero tragedy, the Coffee Region earthquake, and more recently with Humanitarian Fund 77 – Faith Without Borders, mobilizing resources and capabilities to respond to the earthquakes in Venezuela and support people who needed to regain mobility and independence.
Today Colombia needs us. CIREC and SCMT are joining forces to respond.
