The floods that have put the state of Rio Grande do Sul in a true calamity have forced over 1 million people to leave their homes. A large number of individuals and institutions are mobilizing to help those affected by the tragedy. However, it is important to be attentive to how to ensure that this help reaches those who truly need it.
The government of Rio Grande do Sul has opened a donation channel for the SOS Rio Grande do Sul account. The funds will be fully allocated to humanitarian support for flood victims and to the reconstruction of the municipalities’ infrastructure.
With the official donation channel, the government centralizes financial aid, provides security to donors, and increases transparency in the allocation of funds, as the movement of resources will undergo auditing and oversight by the public authorities.
