Please donate so food, clean water and shelter are ready when the monsoon floods Malaysia's east coast. Please donate at https://worldaidnetwork.org/appeal/malaysia-emergency ## At a glance - Programme focus: Emergency food, water, hygiene and shelter in Malaysia - Countries covered: Malaysia only - Peak season: November to January on the east coast (MetMalaysia) - Reporting: Verified appeal totals and delivery reports are not yet published ## What is the Malaysia Floods Appeal? The Malaysia Floods Appeal is World Aid Network’s standing emergency relief page for Malaysia. Please donate for food, clean water, hygiene kits and temporary shelter for families displaced by flooding. Local partner organisations deliver the help. We do not rebuild homes or send cash from this appeal. Every monsoon, rivers on Malaysia’s east coast rise. Families leave home with what they can carry and wait in temporary relief centres until the water drops. They need to eat, drink safely and stay dry. That is what this appeal pays for. You do not need to travel or pack a box. The most useful thing you can do is donate money, so help can be bought close to where it is needed. ## When is flood season in Malaysia? Malaysia’s Northeast Monsoon brings heavy rain spells to the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia, western Sarawak and the north-east coast of Sabah. MetMalaysia gives November, December and January as the months of maximum rainfall for the east coast states. That is when flooding is most likely. Kelantan, Terengganu and Pahang are usually hit first, before the rain moves south towards Johor.

A gift made before the rains peak means partners are not starting from zero when families are already in relief centres. ## How many people do monsoon floods displace in Malaysia? In late November 2025 the ASEAN AHA Centre reported 20,357 people displaced and 125 evacuation centres open across eight Malaysian states, citing NADMA. Those are published disaster figures, not a claim about how many families World Aid Network has reached.

We will ask you to give so local partners can deliver the first things a displaced family needs. - 20,357 — People displaced in Malaysia at the time of the update - 125 — Evacuation centres open in Malaysia - 8 states — Kelantan, Perlis, Perak, Selangor, Kedah, Pulau Pinang, Terengganu and Pahang - Food, water, shelter — What this appeal is restricted to — not reconstruction ## What will my donation to the Malaysia Floods Appeal provide? Your donation contributes towards emergency food, clean drinking water, hygiene kits and temporary shelter for flood-affected families in Malaysia. Suggested amounts are contributions, not published partner quotes or guaranteed outcomes. What a household receives depends on assessed need and local costs. Please choose an amount on this page. Give once, or give every month so help is ready for each monsoon. ## How does my donation reach a family in Malaysia? You donate. Trustees release funds to local partner organisations in Malaysia after assessing need. Partners buy food, water, hygiene supplies and shelter materials nearby and deliver them. We do not send cash to individuals. Buying locally is faster, and it supports shops in the affected area. Timing depends on need, access, available funds and partner capacity; no response time is guaranteed. If you want to give in memory of someone, or as a group, write to info@worldaidnetwork.org and we will mark the gift for the Malaysia Floods Appeal. ## Should I send clothes or food parcels from the UK? Please donate money instead, unless a partner has asked for a specific item in writing. Parcels from Britain usually arrive late and cost more than buying locally. A card gift on this page is the fastest way to help. Local partners know what a family needs that week. Please give so rice, drinking water and tarpaulins can be bought nearby. ## How is this different from the Floods and Earthquake Appeal? This page is marked for flood-affected families in Malaysia. The Floods and Earthquake Appeal is the standing three-country fund for Pakistan, Indonesia and Malaysia. Both buy food, water and shelter. Please donate to the page that matches how you want to help. A gift here stays with flood relief in Malaysia. If you would rather let trustees send help wherever the need is greatest across the three countries, use the standing fund. ## What happens if more is raised than is needed? Trustees may direct surplus to other disaster-relief work in Pakistan, Indonesia or Malaysia, in line with our Objects — never kept as profit. This appeal does not rebuild homes and does not fund cancer treatment or eye surgery. Sight-restoring surgery in Malaysia is a separate programme with its own page. Please give here if you want emergency food, water and shelter after flooding in Malaysia. ## What will a donation provide? - £10: Contribution towards emergency food, water, hygiene and shelter in Malaysia - £25: Contribution towards emergency food, water, hygiene and shelter in Malaysia - £50: Contribution towards emergency food, water, hygiene and shelter in Malaysia - £100: Contribution towards emergency food, water, hygiene and shelter in Malaysia - £250: Contribution towards emergency food, water, hygiene and shelter in Malaysia - £500: Contribution towards emergency food, water, hygiene and shelter in Malaysia ## How to donate to the Malaysia Floods Appeal Donate so World Aid Network can fund food, clean water, hygiene kits and shelter for flood-affected families in Malaysia. - Open this appeal: Stay on this page or go to worldaidnetwork.org/donate. - Choose an amount: Keep the Malaysia Floods Appeal selected and pick an amount. - Give by card: Pay by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay through secure Stripe checkout. - Optional: give monthly: A monthly gift keeps help ready for each monsoon season. ## Frequently asked questions ### Is the Malaysia Floods Appeal open?
