Madagascar is prone to devastating disasters, including the impact of tropical cyclones, recurring drought, and development challenges. The island country faced the world's first climate-caused famines in 2021.
Hundreds of thousands of people in Southern Madagascar, including infants and children, are malnourished and suffering from severe food insecurity. The country's location also puts it at risk of recurring deadly and unpredictable cyclones, which destroy agriculture, disrupt lives, and displace many people.
All donations to this fund will support nutrition and food relief efforts in Madagascar. Initially, funding will help meet immediate needs for food, water, and hygiene products. The fund will also support long-term recovery efforts run primarily by local, vetted organizations in Madagascar.
