More than nine million people in Southern Africa are facing severe food shortages after the worst drought the region has seen in 35 years. Shockingly this number is expected to increase to a staggering 45 million over the next six months. ActionAid is responding through local partners to provide life-saving food, water tablets, and safe spaces for women and girls.
The climate crisis is causing immense suffering across southern Africa, where late rains, the aftermath of Cyclone Idai, droughts and flooding are putting millions of people at risk.
ActionAid and local partners are responding in Zimbabwe, Zambia, Mozambique and Malawi, distributing life-saving items including food and water purification tablets, plus critical items for longer term health such as safe sanitary products and hygiene kits. We are also supporting women and girls to create their own safe spaces where they feel physically and emotionally protected.
ActionAid's response is community-driven, women-led, and rights-based, which means your donation today invests in change that lasts.
