Hi, I'm Daniela, I'm a high school student and a member of my school's DECA chapter in Weston, Florida, and I started Project Tricolor because I couldn't stop thinking about the children caught in the earthquakes that struck Colombia and Venezuela.

Thousands of families lost their homes, their belongings, and their sense of safety overnight. For the kids, that also meant losing the simple things they need to keep going to school like backpacks, notebooks, pencils, the basics most of us take for granted. Right now, many of them are showing up to class with nothing, or not showing up at all.

That's where Project Tricolor comes in. We collect donations and assemble backpacks filled with school supplies, then get them into the hands of children in Colombia and Venezuela through trusted relief partners on the ground. The name comes from the yellow, blue, and red the two countries share on their flags a reminder that this is about lifting up kids across both nations.

Every backpack we send is more than supplies. It's a message to a child that they haven't been forgotten, and that they still get to learn, grow, and dream.

Here's how you can help:

Donate to fund a backpack. 

Share this campaign. Send it to your family, friends, and anyone who believes every kid deserves a fair start — sharing is free and reaches people we never could on our own.

Thank you for standing with these kids. Together, we can turn a hard beginning into a fresh start. 💛💙❤️
