🇻🇪 Dance for Venezuela — Noche Esencia Fundraiser Night

On Wednesday 19th August, Esencia Libre is hosting a very special Noche Esencia salsa social with our friend and fellow Venezuelan DJ Tuli — and this one carries a much bigger purpose than just dancing.

This summer, Venezuela was struck by devastating earthquakes that have left thousands of families without homes, without food, without water — and without loved ones. As two Venezuelans born and raised, this is deeply personal to us both. These are our people. This is our home country. And right now, they need our help.

💔 The scale of the devastation is heartbreaking:

Hundreds of people have been killed and the death toll continues to rise. Over 11,000 people are injured, with hospitals pushed beyond their limits. Families are sleeping in makeshift tents on the streets, exposed to heat and rain with little protection. Power lines and roads have been destroyed, cutting communities off from essential supplies. Children have been left without parents, without medicine, without shelter. The needs are overwhelming and every single donation counts.

❤️ You don't need to be at the event to make a difference.

Whether you're joining us on the dancefloor on the 14th or you're reading this from anywhere in the world — you can donate right now and make an immediate impact. Every pound you give goes directly to the DEC Venezuela Earthquake Appeal, which brings together 15 of the UK's leading aid charities already working on the ground in Venezuela.

🇬🇧 AND …. every pound donated is matched pound-for-pound by the UK Government through the UK Aid Match scheme (up to £2 million). That means your donation goes TWICE as far. £10 becomes £20. £50 becomes £100. £100 becomes £200.

💃 If you can join us on the night:

Come dance, come connect, come be part of something bigger. Bring a friend. Bring your heart. We'll be celebrating life, culture and community …. while standing in solidarity with those who need us most.

🙏 If you can't make it:

Please donate whatever you can …NO amount is too small. Even £1/$1/€1 makes a difference. Share this page with your friends and family. Help us spread the word.

For Venezuela. For our people. For love. 🇻🇪❤️
