Emergency Response
Cyclone Idai
In early 2019, 920,000 people in Malawi were affected by Cyclone Idai, which caused widespread devastation and major flooding. Water & sanitation infrastructure was been destroyed in many areas, bringing a heightened risk of waterborne diseases.
In response to this disaster, we funded emergency relief in the Nsanje district of Malawi- supporting the Bangula camp, which hosted over 5,000 people affected by the flooding. The funding included the installation of clean water points, emergency latrines, hand-washing stations and sheltered washing units.
