Cyclone Idai has caused widespread death and destruction across southern Africa. It "might be the southern hemisphere's worst such disaster", according to the UN.
The cyclone made landfall on Thursday 14th March and has completely devastated whole regions of Mozambique, Zimbabwe and Malawi.
More than 2.6 million people could be affected, with thousands of lives lost and many more homes and livelihoods completely destroyed. Many lives are still at risk, as heavy winds and rains, flash flooding and mudslides continue in the wake of the cyclone.
Will you organise a fundraising activity with your friends, school or colleagues to help raise money for those most affected by the disaster?
From bake sales to sponsored silences, choose your own event to help those who need it most. If you need some inspiration get in touch with our Events Team on 01460 238 000 or email events@actionaid.org.
ActionAid is currently on the ground in Mozambique and Zimbabwe and are working with our local partners, to help them provide immediate aid in the most affected areas.
We are urgently preparing our response, including relief items such as food, blankets, hygiene kits, water sterilising tablets, water containers, clothes and tents.
Lives are urgently at risk. But with your support, we can save as many lives as possible.
