🌿 Update from MadeiraFireAid 🔥

Dear supporters,

First of all, thank you for your generosity and patience! We know it’s been a long time since our last update, and we truly appreciate your trust.

Since the devastating Madeira wildfires of October 2023, we’ve been working to ensure your donations make the greatest impact. After initially providing food for animals of affected farmers, we’ve now taken another big step forward:

✅ Tin roofing sheets delivered – helping farmers rebuild 8 barns lost in the fires.
✅ More support on the way – 3 additional barns will be repaired once farmers are ready.
✅ Future plans – We’re using the remaining funds to plant trees in the west of the island, ensuring proper reforestation where we can personally oversee the process.

Unfortunately, bureaucratic delays and unfulfilled government promises slowed things down, but we’ve stayed committed to ensuring every cent goes where it’s needed most. Your support has made a real difference in helping local families rebuild. ❤️

Swipe through to see moments from the delivery, the farmers receiving the tin roofs, and our transaction with the supplier! 📸

We’ll keep you posted with more updates soon. If you have any questions or just want to say hi, feel free to reach out!

With gratitude,
Inga, Nina & Rodrigo

We are so happy to share with you that the Junta de Freguesia in Faja de Ovelha received our first donation! 🙈🥹😍🎉

The animal feed will be fairly distributed to the farmers who lost all their animal feed and whose pastures completely burned down 🔥

Thanks to all your help, the farmers whose animals were completely without food will survived this horrible event! 🙏🏻

The amount of food that was delivered will feed the animals for a week, and provide essential help during the hardest time. ☺️

Thanks so much, each and every one of you - you are amazing! ✨

One week. It’s been one week since the fires in the west of Madeira have been put out. While the immediate danger has been extinguished, farmers and their families have a long road ahead of them before life goes back to normal. There are pressing needs affecting the survival of their animals and their livelihoods. We will do everything we can to assist them until they, too can put this disaster behind them. Join us in our efforts!

We sat down with Gabriel Neto, the president of Fajã da Ovelha Junta da Freguesia to discuss the URGENT needs of his parish. Like in Ponta do Pargo, over 90% of the area has been burnt and the parish urgently needs our help!! The biggest priority right now is animal feed as all the pasture is gone. We are preparing to take immediate action to provide food for the animals!! Sentámo-nos com Gabriel Neto, o presidente da Junta da Freguesia da Fajã da Ovelha para discutir as necessidades URGENTES da sua freguesia. Tal como na Ponta do Pargo, mais de 90% da área foi queimada e a freguesia precisa urgentemente da nossa ajuda!!! A maior prioridade neste momento é a alimentação dos animais, uma vez que todos os pastos desapareceram. Estamos a preparar-nos para tomar medidas imediatas para fornecer alimentos aos animais!!
