Children who have been displaced by the earthquakes that hit Venezuela on 24 June 2026 play in a Safe Space set up by Save the Children and its partner organisation.
Providing safe spaces for children in the first phase of an emergency can give them the chance to play, connect and continue learning, allowing them to process their experiences of loss and displacement, connect with and support peers and access mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS). Children can also retain knowledge already gained and learn essential lifesaving skills, like how to prevent the spread of disease.
