Cyclone Fani
Cyclone Fani, a Category 4, and one of the worst tropical cyclones in 20 years, is leaving a trail of destruction across India as it heads towards Bangladesh, devastating vulnerable communities in its path. Buildings are damaged, communications are disrupted, and roads are flooded.
Making landfall on the Odisha coast of India on Friday 3 May, the 200km per hour winds have already forced the evacuation of more than one million people. Tens of millions more remain in the potential path of the cyclone, including one million Rohingya refugees in the world’s most dense refugee settlement in Bangladesh. Living in flimsy shelters and densely packed into exposed areas, this severe storm could cause tremendous damage and loss of life.
Families are in urgent need of shelter, food, water and medical supplies. CARE is on the ground in both India and Bangladesh and is already preparing a full scale response.
Please donate now to our Global Emergency Fund to help us prepare to deliver lifesaving aid to those affected by disasters like Cyclone Fani.

Donations over $2 are tax deductible.
Should the funds raised through an emergency appeal exceed the amount required to meet the immediate and longer term needs of the people in the affected areas, or if there are changes in circumstances beyond CARE’s control which limit its ability to utilise all funds in the affected areas, CARE will direct excess funds to other emergency relief activities in the future.
Monthly donation will go to emergency relief & preparedness activities where it is needed most.
