Thanks for your support, sadly we have bad news in terms of the situation on the ground being worsened after another Cyclone hit, just weeks after the first. We are thinking of those hit by Cyclone Kenneth and the Bristol Link with Beira team are working closely with people on the ground to support the rebuilding of the City. 

Could you please share the crowdfunding project with your network via social media and email, every share helps to spread the word and we need urgent support. 

With online and offline donations we have reached over £10000!!

With the money that has been already donated we have supplied 5000 water purification kits to families in Beira through our partner organisation in Beira, ADEL..

Currently through ADEL and this appeal we have committed to spending donated money on public health and education resources.

However we are also supplying support to ADEL helping them gain resources from other international agencies that are operating on the ground such as allocation of food and water as well as medicines that are already in the country.

Thank you for you continuing to share and support our appeal. We still have a bit to go and this is just the start.

Thank you for all the Support.

Hi everyone, thanks for your pledge and support, it means a lot. The BLB team have made contact with the Mayor of Beira, he said that they are facing 'total devastation' and 'will have to begin again' Incredibly he also asked how Bristol was doing! We are coordinating efforts from Bristol and need any support possible, it would be amazing if you could share the project with your friends and family, as well as any companies who would want to donate or help.
