Cyclone Relief for Zimbabwe

Rebecca Newhouse is organizing this fundraiser to benefit Matter.

Tax deductible

Tropical Cyclone Idai ripped through southern African nations in March, flattening homes and buildings, causing widespread destruction and massive flooding. Roads are washed out, power is out, and people are without clean water. Hospitals are jammed with storm victims in search of care, while rising floods and heavy rains continue in affected regions, including eastern Zimbabwe.

Will you help us provide critical relief to thousands of people that need help in this devastated region?

$30,000 will allow us to procure and send a full shipment of medical relief supplies and equipment. MATTER is poised and ready to respond to this crisis.

NBA player Gorgui Dieng of the Minnesota Timberwolves has stepped up to match up to $10,000 in donations toward this relief effort. A native of Senegal, Gorgui is committed to helping people throughout Africa through the Gorgui Dieng Foundation in partnership with MATTER.

YOUR IMPACT
Donations will be used to procure and ship critical medical supplies and food relief to vetted partners on the ground in Zimbabwe. MATTER has a long history of working internationally with proven outcomes.
Your donation, together with Gorgui's support, will double our relief efforts for the people of Zimbabwe. THANK YOU.
