Atlas Insurance employees have come together to support relief efforts following the recent earthquakes in Venezuela, raising funds to assist people impacted by the disaster. The employee initiative was supplemented by a contribution from the company, bringing the total amount raised to €1,500.
The funds were presented to of SOS Malta, continuing Atlas Insurance's collaboration with the humanitarian organisation in responding to international emergencies. SOS Malta will transfer the proceeds to World Central Kitchen (WCK), which has been providing food assistance on the ground in Venezuela.
Working alongside local partners, WCK is providing meals to families as well as orphanages, shelters and hospitals, while also supporting emergency responders involved in the aftermath of the earthquakes. Its response is focused on ensuring that people facing disruption and displacement have access to freshly prepared food at a time when normal services and everyday routines have been severely affected.
Catherine Calleja, Executive Director and Company Secretary at Atlas Insurance, stated: "When people are facing the consequences of a humanitarian crisis, coming together in solidarity is one way we can offer meaningful support. I am particularly proud of TeamAtlas, whose members were the main drivers behind this initiative and once again showed their willingness to step forward and help others. As a company, we wanted to build on their generosity and collective effort, and we hope that our contribution can play a small part in supporting those affected by the earthquakes in Venezuela."
Atlas Insurance has previously supported international humanitarian efforts through SOS Malta. In 2024, funds raised by TeamAtlas employees and supplemented by the company were donated in aid of children in Gaza, while in 2022 Atlas and its employees contributed towards SOS Malta's response to the humanitarian crisis resulting from the war in Ukraine.
