SOS Chile: Wildfire Disaster Relief

Chile has been devastated by wildfires . To date, over 590,000 hectares have burned down —an area more than twice the size of Oxfordshire!


Chilean Societies in the UK have teamed up to raise money for aid and reconstruction efforts in the regions affected by this natural disaster. All donated funds will go directly to Chilean Red Cross, a  respected Non Governmental Organisation.

Supplies, such as protective clothing and dust masks, are sorely needed as soon as possible. Over 120 different wildfires have scorched entire towns, and people have lost everything to the flames.

Join #UKSocieties4Chile in the fight against these wildfires! We're on Facebook and Twitter.

This is a joint effort by Chilean societies from:

University of Bristol,
University of Cambridge,
University of Edinburgh,
University College London,
London School of Economics,
University of Manchester,
University of Nottingham,
University of Oxford.

With the support of:

Embassy of Chile, United Kingdom,
General Consulate of Chile, United Kingdom.
