March was the busiest field month of 2026 so far for HoverAid’s Community Health and WASH Programme. Across the month, three major activities were carried out simultaneously: cyclone recovery assessments in Ambatoboeny, advance preparations in Beroroha, and visits to local partner communities in Soatana. Together, these activities reflect the wide-ranging nature of the programme - supporting clean water, sanitation, community partnerships and resilience in some of Madagascar’s most remote areas.

Fundraising is at the heart of everything we do at HoverAid. From running marathons to hosting bake sales, every pound raised helps us reach some of the most remote communities in Madagascar with life-saving medical care. It is the dedication, creativity and generosity of our supporters that enables us to continue this vital work - and we are constantly inspired by the incredible ways people choose to get involved.

Behind every HoverAid mission is a combination of logistics, medical expertise and engineering working together to reach communities that would otherwise remain inaccessible

Madagascar is currently reeling from an unprecedented sequence of extreme weather events. In less than three weeks, two powerful tropical cyclones have struck the island, causing widespread destruction, loss of life, and significant displacement of families and communities.

2025 has been an exciting and deeply encouraging year for HoverAid. It has been a year of growth, progress, and strengthened foundations — all driven by our commitment to reach people living in some of the most remote and underserved parts of Madagascar.
