From the beginning of February 2023, heavy rains caused floods in Maputo province and Maputo city, leaving thousands of people displaced.
Tropical Cyclone Freddy left a trail of destruction on livelihoods, leaving more than 500 000 people homeless and sheltering in hundreds of camps across flood-affected areas in Malawi.
The Grindrod team in Malawi provided parcels, fresh water, and blanket to 70 families. In Mozambique, Grindrod supported drives initiated by the Port of Maputo and donated mattresses, capulanas, blankets, rain boots, cutlery, baby formula, diapers, toiletries, buckets, water purifier tablets, candles, mosquito repellent and nets, jerricans, and clothes.
