Thousands of families have been displaced from their homes by severe flooding, caused by Cyclone Freddy.
Already, more than 180,000 people have been displaced by the disaster. Malawi was already experiencing the deadliest outbreak of cholera in the country’s history, with fears that the flooding could worsen the spread of waterborne diseases.
Habitat Ireland has a long-term partnership with Malawi, we are standing with our colleagues who are already on the ground, working in those areas most affected by the floods.
