Ryft is proud to support the Disasters Emergency Committee as it responds to the earthquakes that have devastated communities across Venezuela. DEC charities and their local partners are on the ground providing urgent medical care, food, clean water and shelter to those affected.

The appeal launched on 1 July, and in its first week the DEC raised over £12 million through its fundraising channels. Ryft is providing payment processing to support that response, helping donations reach the people who need them without delay. As a compliant payment institution, reliability and speed matter most when every donation counts.

"The team are proud to be supporting the crucial work of the DEC and their fundraising appeal for Venezuela. Our hearts and best wishes go out to those impacted by the earthquakes." Alex Mackenzie, co-founder of Ryft

Donations to the DEC’s Venezuela appeal can be made at dec.org.uk.
