The “De esta nos levantamos” campaign will mobilize support leveraging the ¿Dónde es el After? Tour as a fundraising platform to help communities recover following Venezuela’s June 24 earthquakes.
Washington, D.C., August 14th, 2026 — Fundación El After and the Pan American Development Foundation (PADF), alongside Venezuelan band Rawayana and Brocoli Records, announced today the launch of the “De esta nos levantamos” campaign. The global fundraising program will support long-term recovery for populations affected by the devastating June 24 earthquakes in Venezuela.
Resource mobilization will capitalize on the international draw of Rawayana’s ¿Dónde es el After? Tour, inviting fans around the world to transform the energy of each concert into tangible support for children, families, and communities working to rebuild their lives.
Funds raised through the campaign will support initiatives proposed by members of Rawayana, Brocoli Records, and Fundación El After, with technical guidance from PADF. These initiatives may include creating safe spaces for children, providing psychosocial support, expanding cultural and sports activities, and supporting many other community-led efforts that help people heal and recover. PADF will administer and safeguard all campaign funds, ensuring transparency, accountability, and sound financial stewardship.
“Recovery is a long journey that requires hope and trusted partnerships,” said Katie Taylor, Executive Director of PADF. “We are honored to join Rawayana, Fundación El After, and Brocoli Records in channeling the extraordinary solidarity of people around the world into meaningful recovery efforts led by the Venezuelan people, for the Venezuelan people. Together, we can help families rebuild what was lost, and create opportunities to move forward with dignity.”
Fundación El After was created by Rawayana as a platform to transform solidarity into lasting social impact. Through this campaign, the organization seeks to connect the band’s global community with trusted local organizations working to support Venezuela’s recovery.
“For us, music has always been about bringing people together,” said Beto Montenegro, lead singer of Rawayana. “This tour has become an opportunity to unite thousands of people every night. We want that same energy to become hope for Venezuela. If every person who has sung with us can also be part of rebuilding a community, then this movement becomes much bigger than a concert.”
”Fundación El After was born from the belief that solidarity shouldn’t end when the headlines fade” says Andrés “Fofo” Story, founding core member of both Rawayana and Fundación El After, “together with Rawayana, Brocoli Records, and PADF, we’re creating a way for people around the world to stand with Venezuela and turn compassion into lasting opportunities for children, families, and communities rebuilding their future.”
PADF brings more than 60 years of humanitarian and development experience across Latin America and the Caribbean, working alongside local organizations to respond to crises and strengthen community resilience. Through this partnership, PADF will provide fiduciary oversight and technical advisory support to ensure that every contribution achieves the greatest possible impact.
