Cyclone Idai has triggered a “massive disaster” in southern Africa affecting hundreds of thousands if not millions of people, the UN says.

HPIC is currently communicating with partners in Mozambique, Zimbabwe and Malawi to determine the health needs of populations affected by Cyclone Idai. Partners in Zimbabwe have already confirmed the need for medical relief in the rural areas. HPIC anticipates responding to this extensive humanitarian disaster as the needs by region emerge.

All three countries have been hit by heavy winds and rain causing widespread flooding.
The Red Cross has warned there could be an outbreak of waterborne diseases, including cholera, due to the expected contamination of the water supply and disruption of usual water treatment.

Your donation today is what is needed for us to deliver essential medicines and supplies urgently to the families devastated by this crisis.

Give to where most needed so HPIC can respond to the most pressing needs identified by our global network of partners. HPIC has the supply chain of donated medicines, a reputable network of implementing partners, and a needs-based approach. Help us move essential medicines and supplies to the most vulnerable.

When you are sick, injured or in pain, you need to see a doctor and you need medicine. A Humanitarian Medical Kit places life-saving medicines directly into the hands of a doctor. You can send mothers back to care for their children, workers back to work and children back to school.

Canadian volunteers hand-carry the kits to inner-city slums and remote rural communities, bringing care and healing to the most vulnerable communities in the world.

HPIC releases a kit to a Canadian volunteer for a minimum donation of $600 (plus flat shipping rate of $75). However, HPIC must fundraise another $600 must to cover the true costs. Your donation will move medicine to people in need and ensure this valuable support to Canadian humanitarians helping the poorest of the poor.

Health and hope does come in a kit. And you can deliver one with your donation to HPIC!

Be part of our mission to deliver health and hope when emergencies strike in the developing world. HPIC has the partnerships, medicines and distribution channels to respond quickly and according to needs. You can help HPIC stand ready. Every $1 donated to HPIC delivers at least $10 of essential medicines.

Your gift will ensure that healthcare providers can treat every sick child. Your gift will stock the whole pharmacy of a community clinic. With your support, hundreds of sick people will receive what they need to get better. Help bring health and healing to families living in poverty.

Just $300 annually will stock a clinic pharmacy

Doctors serving in vulnerable populations can only diagnose. But with your donation, a doctor will be able to diagnose and treat their patient with the medicine they need to get better.

A gift of $10 is multiplied to provide $100 of essential medicines
