Emergency Appeal

Flooding in Buzi District, Sofala Province, Mozambique

Urgent Appeal

Buzi District in central Mozambique is facing a serious emergency after months of heavy rains and flooding. More than 13,700 families, around 76,500 people, have been affected, hundreds of homes destroyed and critical services damaged. At least 28 boreholes and three water systems are flooded, leaving communities without safe drinking water and increasing the risk of disease. Families have been displaced to temporary centres. Schools and health facilities are affected, and livelihoods have been disrupted as crops and farmland are lost. Urgent support is needed to help Buzi District.

All donations will support relief efforts in Buzi District, Sofala Province, Mozambique. Any surplus will be used for similar emergency WASH responses to help people affected by crises across Mozambique.
