Humanitarian reunification tool

Reuniting families after Venezuela’s June 24, 2026 earthquakes

Reencuentro Venezuela is a free, non-profit, strictly non-partisan tool that helps reunite the families separated by the June 24, 2026 earthquakes in Venezuela. You can search for a missing or rescued person by description or photo (with AI), not just by exact name.

Live figures, updated as reports arrive and are verified. More than 100,000 reports aggregated from multiple registries.

Why it is different

Most missing-person tools only search by exact name. But after a disaster, whoever finds someone often does not know their name: an unconscious adult in a hospital, a child who cannot give a surname, a disoriented elderly person. Name search fails exactly there. Reencuentro lets you search by description (approximate age, build, clothing, marks, where and when the person was seen) and by photo (assistive facial similarity). The AI turns that into possible matches for a human to verify. That gap is the reason the project exists.

How it works

• Aggregates reports from several diaspora registries and public sources into a single searcher (without fragmenting the data).
• Uses AI to structure each report and run a semantic search, combining filters (age, gender, place) with description similarity.
• If a photo is available, it is processed in our own infrastructure (photos never leave it; no third-party face service) to derive descriptive attributes and a facial-similarity signal. That signal is assistive: it helps rank candidates, it does not decide.
• Returns candidates to verify, always showing the source data and why they matched.

Ethical commitment

• The AI never asserts a match. It only suggests candidates for a person to confirm. We never say “we found your relative”.
• Facial similarity is a hint, not a verdict. It is marked inferred and always confirmed by a human. It is not identity recognition.
• We protect contact data. The contact details of whoever reports or searches do not appear on the pages or in search: they are revealed only on request, after an anti-bot check, rate-limited and logged, with no bulk download. This blocks extortion scams.
• Strictly non-partisan and humanitarian. Its only goal is to reunite people, safely.
