What is the Cyclone Idai Appeal?

In March 2019, Cyclone Idai tore through Mozambique, Malawi and Zimbabwe. Hundreds of people were killed and nearly half a million left homeless after strong winds and flooding.

In the days and weeks after the cyclone hit, Tearfund’s local partners distributed food, cooking utensils and shelter, along with seeds to replant crops destroyed by the winds.

One year later, much of southern Africa is facing severe droughts, making it harder for people to rebuild their lives.

In the event that we raise more than is needed to support these partners, your gift will be used in other emergency responses and to prevent the impact of disasters on vulnerable communities.
