In addition to Mozambique, several hundred thousand people have been affected by the cyclone and floods in Zimbabwe and Malawi.

In the first phase, we finance the emergency aid with the donations collected, in order to meet the most urgent needs. It is imperative to provide water, food, medicine, medical care and shelter.
These projects are being implemented by our NGO partners in close collaboration with their local partners, who are active on the ground and have already started distributing relief supplies.
With your donation, our partner NGOs can provide the people of Mozambique with shelter, medical care, access to clean water and basic necessities. Thank you for your support!
