How You Can Help
Your donation is vital in ensuring a timely and effective response to reach communities in crisis. Together, we can ensure complicated logistics hurdles and high airfare costs will not hinder disaster response for 250+ nonprofits. Please consider donating to make a difference for displaced individuals and families impacted by these severe floods. The road to recovery will be long, and they are counting on our sustained support.
Situation Overview
These catastrophic floods comes during the Southern Africa Cyclone Season, which Airlink is well equipped to respond to from prior large-scale natural disaster emergency response experience in the region.
Airlink is launching a response to the catastrophic flooding in Xai-Xai, Mozambique, that has displaced 620,000 people (over half of them children), following a call for international assistance from the Mozambican government. Torrential rains have inundated homes, cut off roads, and forced mass displacement as the Limpopo River overruns its banks, with communities struggling to reach food, clean water, and safe shelter amid widespread damage to infrastructure and farmland.
More rain is expected, increasing the risk of water-borne diseases like cholera, and destroying agriculture – worsening the pre-existing malnutrition crisis that impacts nearly 40% of children in Mozambique.
Airlink’s Disaster Response
Airlink is working with airline and logistics partners to find transport solutions to overcome last-mile challenges created by the extreme flooding, and is primarily working with partners to provide:
- Emergency shelter
- Medical assistance
- Water filtration
A week before the floods arrived, Airlink prepositioned life-saving shelter supplies with IFRC and the Mozambican Red Cross, ready to help affected households immediately.Â
Airlink’s first response in Mozambique was in 2019 following Cyclone Idai; since then, we have supported responses to Cyclone Freddy (2023) and Cyclone Chido (2025), with a focus on shelter, food, clean water, and medical assistance.Â
