    ​By selling muffins, cake and play dough, two little girls from different sides of the world raised hundreds of dollars to help those who are suffering from the devastation of Hurricane Idai in Mozambique. Care for Life, a non-profit based in Arizona, has been working in Mozambique for almost 20 years. With casualties still being recorded and hundreds without power, water or food, every dollar donated helps Care for Life’s emergency relief efforts tremendously.

    Emergency donations are being accepted on www.careforlife.org. 

    Six-year-old Zara, who lives in Manhattan, New York, worked hard to raise money to help the victims of Hurricane Idai. This natural disaster is one of the worst weather events ever to occur in Mozambique. It is estimated that 90 percent of the city has been destroyed. Because of Zara, citizens in Mozambique will receive life-saving aid.

    “My friends and I heard about the cyclone and wanted to help. We decided to run a bake sale on our street in Manhattan. We hope this money helps,” said young Zara. 

    On the other side of the world, in Switzerland, Annina also raised money to help those in Mozambique. Annina sold slime, play dough and cake. By doing something small, these girls will make a huge difference to those in Mozambique. They took a few hours out of their day to help provide life-saving aid to others. To contribute like Zara and Annina, donations can be made at www.careforlife.org as well as https://www.facebook.com/careforlife.org/.

    Care for Life has 30 staff members on the ground ready to distribute aid. Monetary donations are most needed and will be used directly for relief efforts designed to prevent any further loss of life.

    ​Care For Life, an Arizona-based anti-poverty charity working in Mozambique, is pleading with the public for donations to save the lives of those endangered by Hurricane Idai. Emergency donations are being taken on www.CareForLife.org. 

    An estimated 1,000 people are dead after the hurricane made landfall. Much of the country is still under water and the total body count still not known. Flooding and winds as high as 106 miles per hour destroyed over 90 percent of the infrastructure and homes in Mozambique. Food is scarce because almost all crops have been destroyed. The hospitals are far past capacity and contaminated water is spreading cholera. Standing water greatly increases concerns of malaria.

    “We are very lucky to have a staff made up of Mozambique citizens in the affected area,” said Care for Life President Linda Harper. “Now that our team has gotten themselves and their families in a safe place, we are ready to start helping others. Money is our biggest need. This will allow us to arrange transportation and purchase supplies such as food and all the other basics the people of Mozambique need right now. As more funding comes in, it will go directly to help the people in the center of this disaster. Those who want to help can go to our website.” 

    Care For Life has 30 staff members on the ground ready to distribute aid. Monetary donations are most needed and will be used directly for relief efforts designed to prevent any further loss of life. Donations can be made at www.CareForLife.org as well as https://www.facebook.com/careforlife.org/.
