Disaster Relief

Iris Global has always sought to be the hands and feet of Jesus - helping where there is great need. Shortly into the ministry in Mozambique there was a huge flood in January 2000. We had people on the ground there already to provide assistance with food relief, providing temporary shelter and rebuilding homes. Throughout the years this has expanded to cover many nations of the world, where there is need and we are able, we will provide help.

Mozambique has been hit several times with severe cyclones (the latest being in 2020). These cause mass destruction to already poor communities. Houses that are made of flimsy materials are torn down, widespread flooding causes diseases like malaria, and small family crops are wiped out. There has also been a lot of tension in the North of Mozambique causing thousands of people to be displaced from their homes. Iris Global have been there to provide food, shelter and clean water. Iris Australia partners with our two major bases in Mozambique - Pemba and Zimpeto, to co-ordinate these relief efforts.
