Why support matters
Receding water allows some people to return, but safe housing, clean water, crop losses and income recovery can remain problems. Returning home and completing recovery are separate milestones.
This AidWorkers.com campaign is independent. Cited organisations are evidence sources and are not presented as partners or recipients of donations to AidWorkers.com.
Donation transparency
Urgency should never come at the expense of honesty. This page separates verified emergency evidence from AidWorkers.com's own role.
