Appeal
El Niño Appeal: Act early. Protect children. Strengthen resilience - 2026-27
Emergency preparedness and response
Highlights
Malawi may be facing the strongest El Niño on record. Forecasters predict erratic rains, prolonged dry spells and localized flooding. Already, 2.6 million people face crisis levels of hunger, and cholera could return. Children and women will be hit hardest. Preparedness is needed to prevent lasting harm to children. UNICEF and the Government of Malawi have a plan to act before these risks converge.
