The flooding and damage caused by Cyclone Idai has destroyed homes and infrastructure, displaced thousands of people, and created a disaster-zone with enormous needs for assistance and alarming health concerns.
More than 300 Médecins Sans Frontières staff are on the ground in Beira, working inside three health centres and running mobile clinics to provide primary healthcare to the most affected communities.
Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders) is an independent international medical humanitarian organisation. Today our teams are in more than 70 countries delivering vital medical assistance to people affected by conflict, natural disasters, epidemics and other medical emergencies. As an independent organisation, Médecins Sans Frontières New Zealand does not accept money with strings attached. Not from governments, nor from anywhere else. Our funding comes directly from people like you. It’s that support that allows us to remain free to deliver medical assistance to treat those who need it most, regardless of ethnicity, religion or political affiliation.

Your donation will help ensure that our medical teams can treat patients in urgent need.
Donations of $5 or more also may make you eligible for a tax credit.
The regular contributions of our monthly donors enable us to act immediately when emergencies arise, while meeting the ongoing medical-humanitarian needs of people living in extremely challenging settings.
The reason I have continued to support Médecins Sans Frontières for almost 15 years is because I believe the organisation’s actions are in line with its clearly-stated mission and that they are particularly efficient and sustainable in their work.
Yes, you will. For a one-off donation you will receive a tax receipt via mail after you made your gift. For monthly gifts, receipts are sent annually, towards the end of April. Please keep your address details updated so we can ensure you receive your tax receipt.

On March 14, Tropical Cyclone Idai hit the coastal town of Beira in Mozambique, with winds of up to 200 kilometres per hour and relentlessly heavy rains. In its wake, a city of close to 500,000 inhabitants has been left destroyed. The storm’s impact has affected people as far inland as Zimbabwe and Malawi.
The flooding and damage caused by Cyclone Idai has destroyed homes and infrastructure, displaced thousands of people, and created a disaster-zone with enormous needs for assistance and alarming health concerns.
Médecins Sans Frontières teams are on the ground in Mozambique, Zimbabwe and Malawi, providing medical emergency support to the populations affected.
Please make a donation to ensure Médecins Sans Frontières can continue to respond immediately in times of crisis — wherever and whenever humanitarian emergencies may occur.
