Act now to rebuild the future.
Let’s help local teams in Mayotte protect the most vulnerable people affected by the cyclone.
Mayotte is in a state of devastation. Following Cyclone Chido, thousands of families have lost their homes, belongings, and, tragically, loved ones. Yet the crisis doesn’t end there. Health risks, already high in this territory plagued by endemic poverty, are now set to skyrocket: infectious diseases, unsanitary conditions, and lack of access to clean water and healthcare. Amidst the rainy season, this disaster places Mayotte’s population in the face of an imminent health crisis.
Your contributions will directly assist the local teams of Mlezi Maore and Santé Sud in supporting the most vulnerable victims of Cyclone Chido.
The 60 social and medico-social facilities of Mlezi Maore on the island provide assistance to the most vulnerable, including young people in difficulty, people with disabilities, and unaccompanied minors. Your contributions will help to rehouse, welcome, and sustainably reintegrate the victims of the cyclone.
In an alarming health context marked by infectious diseases and limited access to care, your contributions are vital. They will support the coordinated efforts of Santé Sud and its partners, who are directly involved with communities, particularly through outreach in the slums of Petite-Terre. Thanks to your donations, we will be able to organise crucial actions such as screening and prevention programmes and vaccinations, which are essential to containing the spread of diseases, particularly among disadvantaged populations.
The field teams have also been directly affected. Yet, they remain on the front lines, committed to assisting the most vulnerable. Your donations will directly support them with housing, access to water, electricity, and other essential needs.
Mlezi Maore and Santé Sud are part of Groupe SOS.
For over two decades, Mlezi Maore has worked at the heart of Mayotte, helping the most vulnerable.
Known for its expertise and commitment, the organisation relies on local teams with a deep understanding of the territory’s realities.
