Cyclone Mocha made landfall with winds as strong as a Category 5 hurricane in coastal areas of Myanmar and Bangladesh already in the grip of a longstanding humanitarian and refugee crisis. Your donation to the Cyclone Mocha Relief Fund will help survivors access food, water, shelter, and emergency supplies.
Millions of people have been affected by Cyclone Mocha. Thousands of homes have been destroyed in western Myanmar in places like Sittwe and in shelters in Cox Bazar, considered the world's largest refugee camp, where families live in fragile tents and makeshift structures. Thousands of people were evacuated to schools, monasteries, and other shelters, and within hours of landfall, the storm caused hundreds of deaths, destroyed homes, and cut off power.
All donations to this fund will support Cyclone Mocha relief and recovery efforts. Initially, the fund helps first responders meet survivors' immediate needs for food, fuel, clean water, medicine, and shelter. As needs emerge, we will support longer-term recovery efforts run by local, vetted organizations in the impacted area. GlobalGiving's partners are already hard at work serving refugees in the affected areas.

When a disaster strikes, recovery efforts led by people who live and work in affected communities are often overlooked and underfunded. GlobalGiving is changing this reality. Since 2004, we've been shifting decision-making power to crises-affected communities through trust-based grantmaking and support.
We make it easy, quick, and safe to support people on the ground who understand needs in their communities better than anyone else.
They were there long before the news cameras arrived, and they’ll be there long after the cameras leave. They know how to make their communities more resilient to future disasters, and they’re already hard at work. GlobalGiving puts donations and grants directly into their hands. Because the status quo—which gives the vast majority of funding to a few large organizations—doesn’t make sense.
