HUMANITARIAN NEEDS 

Two cyclones hit Madagascar in just ten days, killing dozens of people and affecting more than 470,000.  

Entire neighbourhoods in Toamasina were devastated and communities have been cut off from food, clean water and health care. Homes, schools, health facilities and livelihoods have been destroyed, and rising floodwaters are increasing the risk of disease outbreaks as thousands of families are left without shelter or basic services. 

HUMANITARIAN RESPONSE 

Canadian Foodgrains Bank is responding to this crisis through their member World Renew, in partnership with Sampan’Asa Momba ny Fampandrosoana (SAF-FJKM). SAF-FJKM has more than fifty years of experience providing humanitarian responses in Madagascar.  

SAF-FJKM will provide rice, legumes and oil to 665 households for three months. They are also distributing emergency cash transfers of 280,000 MGA (90 CAD) to families affected by the cyclones.

In Partnership with Canada

Our response to small and medium-scale disasters is co-funded by Global Affairs Canada, the member agency delivering the assistance, and donations to the Humanitarian Coalition. Your gift will help us be ready for the next disaster. Donate today.
