Our Reasons.

Despite their resilience, creativity and consistent effort, millions of hard-working people around the world are doomed to poverty by macro-economic mismanagement, conflict and disasters beyond their control. Unfortunately, many well-intentioned international and philanthropic initiatives are little more than half-measures that fail to address the structural problems causing these situations, and often contribute to a status-quo that consolidates exclusion. Development and humanitarian aid often substitute one form of dependence with other.

A more responsible approach, based on a comprehensive understanding of human dignity, would empower those in necessity so they can recover their agency and take an active role in improving their own lives and those of others around them. This would also address more profound cultural and psychological needs, laying solid foundations for the changes that lead to sustainable development. 

Venezuela’s collapse challenges the Western Hemisphere’s resources, capacities and knowledge regarding human migration flow: with 4.5 million people forced into exile by hyperinflation, unemployment, paltry salaries, crime and political polarization, it’s an economic migration with the characteristics of a refugee crisis.

However, mistrust among states and international organizations resulted in a focus on emergency relief and a small number of socio-economic integration programs in host countries. These initiatives are hardly sustainable in the mid- to long-term through foreign aid and donations and might also turn into disincentives for migrants to become productive members of society, setting the stage for more problems in the future. 

On the other hand, a desperate migration often means that the talents of qualified workers and professionals are wasted or underused in host countries due to legal obstacles, lack of references, language barriers, etc. Meanwhile, their own country’s human capital, one of the most critical resources required for its recovery, is being depleted. 

Yet working with Venezuelans could be a real, cost-effective advantage for employers around the world. In fact, remote work through freelance platforms, online marketplaces and social networks have been a lifesaver for many during the crisis. These tools are, however, limited by high transaction costs, currency controls and fear of international sanctions involving the international banking system… A culture of entrepreneurship doesn't come any easier in a country ranked 188th for ease of doing business index.

Nonetheless, despite the great difficulties and lack of pragmatic economic measures to allow Venezuela rise again, many professionals, technicians and specialized workers would be willing to stay if they could make a decent income. A lot can be done simply by allowing them access to productive opportunities abroad which they can take while still in their own country.
