OFFICIAL APPEAL FROM CENTRE FOR DISABILITY AND ELDERLY AFFAIRS (CDEA)<br /><br />Beds and Mattresses for 20 Elderly People Above 70 Years in Deep Poverty - Zomba, Malawi<br /><br />In the remote villages of Zomba District, Malawi, 20 elderly grandmothers and grandfathers aged above 70 years are sleeping on cold, hard floors.<br /><br />No bed. No mattress. No blanket.<br /><br />Every night they lie on a thin reed mat or directly on the mud floor, in leaking huts. Their old bones ache. During the cold season, they shiver the whole night. Some suffer from pneumonia, back pain and chronic coughs because of this. They are too old and too poor to help themselves.<br /><br />Most of them were left alone after their children died. Others are caring for orphaned grandchildren. They survive on less than $1 a day. Buying a bed is a dream they will never afford.<br /><br />We at CDEA want to give them dignity in their old age.<br /><br />ABOUT US:<br />The Centre For Disability and Elderly Affairs (CDEA) is a local community-based organization in Malawi dedicated to supporting persons with disabilities and vulnerable elderly people with basic needs, dignity and care.<br /><br />We have identified 20 most needy elderly people in Zomba who urgently need beds.<br /><br />OUR GOAL: Provide 20 Beds + 20 Mattresses + Beddings<br /><br />We are appealing to kind-hearted donors, well-wishers and partners to help us put a smile on these elders' faces.<br /><br /><br />What your donation will do:<br />- Give an elderly person a warm, comfortable sleep<br />- Restore their dignity and health<br />- Show them that they are not forgotten and they are loved<br />- Protect them from cold-related diseases

HADR Institute is seeking funds to purchase waterproof raincoats, jackets or ponchos with hoods, as well as warm, durable jackets to support people who have been displaced by conflict in the mountainous regions of Myanmar. The scale of displacement across the region is significant. Approximately 268,000 people are internally displaced in Kayin (Karen) State and approximately 134,000 in Kayah (Karenni) State. Across the border, Thailand continues to host people from Myanmar who have fled conflict and remain displaced, including approximately 136,500 refugees living in temporary shelters along the Thai–Myanmar border, according to UNHCR's figures. Many displaced communities are living in challenging conditions with limited protection from the weather. Waterproof outerwear is particularly important during the monsoon and rain seasons, while warm jackets can provide essential protection from the cold, especially during cold nights in mountainous areas. Donations will be provided to local partners supporting displaced and vulnerable communities in Myanmar, helping displaced people to stay warm, dry, and protected from harsh weather conditions.

On May 29th 2025 Mokwa Niger State Nigeria experienced tragic floods that unalive over 200 people and rendered many homeless. Again, on 4th of May 2026 there was an unprecedented rain storm that destroyed over a thousand houses. Some victims of this devastation are still unable to repair their houses due to the high cost of roofing sheets.<br />We therefore seek for the intervention of humanitarian organizations to provide roofing sheets to give relief to the victims.
