On Tuesday, a category 4 cyclone hit Madagascar. UNICEF, alongside NGO partners, were quick to assist victims with clean sanitation, child protection and education. An example of NGO activity in the region is Frere St.Gabriel, a UNICEF partner NGO, activating a water purification plant.
UNICEF is moving swiftly to assess and understand the exact damage of the region. The organization hopes to provide basic necessities to help the 66,000 people through the first few days. UNICEF's involvement is critical to the survival of the vulnerable populations affected by the cyclone.
UNCIF is a great example of an NGO that does good work post-natural disaster. They support and establish programs that address child health, clean sanitation, education, child protection, and AID. The organization works in 189 other countries besides Madagascar.
