CYCLONE IDAI’s aftermath

ASEM’s founder, Barbara Hofmann, lives and remains in Beira. She describes life after the cyclone:

“Ninety percent of people have lost almost everything and our help is just a drop. But people don’t despair. Indeed, they show a strength of endurance, resigned but at the same time almost serene. We need your help.”
— Barbara Hofmann, ASEM Founder
