On March 14, 2019, the Cyclone Idai struck Mozambique, Malawi and Zimbabwe.
According to official figures, nearly three million people were affected by the natural disaster,
including nearly 500 deaths on the east coast of southern Africa.
Thousands of buildings – houses, schools, health centres and hospitals – have been damaged or destroyed, as have the livelihoods of hundreds of thousands of people.
Many families are left homeless and most communities do not have
safe access to reliable source of drinking water or electricity.
