Disaster Relief
  • 2017: Hand of Hope provided immediate relief after Cyclone Enawo, by providing food and household items to over 4,000 people
  • 2012: Hand of Hope provided disaster relief to the people of Madagascar affected by the category four cyclones that swept through the region's eastern shores. Over and above our ongoing feeding programs, we distributed relief packs to households of 300 of the most vulnerable including food parcels, blankets, oil, candles, charcoal etc. And for a few of the worst affected, we rebuilt their destroyed houses. We also rebuilt a school where the roof was ripped off entirely and the walls badly damaged.
Feeding Programs
