From Techno to Recovery: The First Month of Support for Colombia

14 Min Read

Colombia earthquake solidarity release / Month one

A powerful 7.4 magnitude earthquake damaged homes, disrupted essential services and left families across Colombia facing an uncertain recovery.

Our response began with music. During the first reporting month, the T.A.M solidarity compilation generated USD 197.59 in net Bandcamp income. We rounded it to USD 198.00 and donated it to a locally led recovery project.

Why help is still needed

Recovery begins with verified local needs.

Damaged homes and interrupted services have removed safety and stability from affected families. Remote territories can be especially difficult to reach, so flexible funding matters while community leaders continue to assess what is most urgent.

The selected project is led by Un Techo para mi País Colombia, known as TECHO Colombia. It works with community leaders, local organizations, volunteers and companies to coordinate the response.

Immediate response

Funds may support emergency shelter, essential assistance, transport, logistics, housing repairs and community spaces according to verified priorities.

Long-term recovery

The goal is to help families move toward safer, more stable and more dignified living conditions while strengthening local recovery capacity.

Why GlobalGiving, and why PayPal appears

One project, two parts of the payment record.

We chose GlobalGiving because it connects donations with vetted local organizations and gives them tools and support to carry out community-led work. TECHO Colombia has been vetted on the platform since 2015 and is listed as site-visit verified.

PayPal was the payment method used at GlobalGiving checkout. That is why the PayPal PDF names GlobalGiving Foundation: PayPal records the payment authorization, while the separate GlobalGiving confirmation identifies the exact Colombia project and confirms that the USD 198.00 donation was completed. Publishing both documents makes the path of the money clear.

Project information comes from the official GlobalGiving page for Colombia Earthquake. Help Families Recover.

Open transparency

Thirty album purchases and three individual track purchases produced USD 266.13 including taxes. After USD 68.54 in taxes, platform shares and payment-processing fees, the release retained USD 197.59. T.A.M added USD 0.41 to complete a USD 198.00 donation.
