On the 25th of January, Beira, Mozambique got hit by Cyclone Eloise. This had a devastating impact on the local communities. Hundreds of houses were fully destroyed, others badly damaged, and the city was flooded. Because of the floodwaters, there is also a high risk of cholera outbreaks and malaria.
Storms of this severity are unfortunately nothing new to Mozambique. Two years ago, Cyclone Idai caused catastrophic damage to large portions of the country. Aleph Surf partnered with Groundswell aid and other local organizations, actioned thousands of dollars of aid in the form of food packets and water filters. Thankfully, those filters are still in use and are providing clean drinking water in this difficult time.
We are partnering up with Young Life Mozambique to coordinate the relief locally in Beira. Groundswell Aid is helping to raise money to assist the victims of Cyclone Eloise. The need is for food parcels and cholera kits, and to repair and replace roofs that have been destroyed.
Would you consider a special gift to support the people of Beira, Mozambique? A donation of any amount will help those in need.
Our goal is to raise funds for 100 food parcels, help 10 household with a new panels and and 10 with entire new roof structures. Please donate through the Groundswell aid platform here
