One act of warmth. A ripple of change.
For families already facing displacement, poverty and conflict, winter brings another challenge.
And in Gaza, recent flooding has made an already devastating situation even worse. Families living in makeshift shelters are facing heavy rain, flooded tents and the loss of what little protection they have from the elements.
Across communities facing hardsip, families urgently need warmth, shelter and protection from the cold.
This winter, MAA International is working to bring essential winter assistance to those who need it most.
Your generosity could help provide tents, blankets, warm clothing, heating supplies and other essential items to help families face the winter with greater comfort and protection.
Because warmth should be more than getting through the night. It should help families keep going.
Why Your Support Matters
When winter hits, everything becomes harder.
For a family without adequate shelter, a night of heavy rain can mean waking up to a flooded tent, soaked blankets and children without warm clothing.
For parents already struggling to provide food and medicine, the added cost of keeping warm can mean even more difficult choices.
Winter doesn’t create just one problem. It makes every other challenge harder.
That’s why winter assistance matters.
A tent can provide essential shelter. Waterproofing materials can help prevent rainwater from entering a family’s living space. Blankets and warm clothing can offer protection against freezing temperatures. Heating supplies can help families stay warm when conditions become unbearable.
And when families have greater protection from the cold, the benefits can reach much further.
Your donation could help create a ripple of warmth that lasts beyond winter.
Countries We Are Supporting
Every gift goes towards practical winter assistance for families facing cold, rain and displacement. What each gift provides depends on local needs and costs, which vary from country to country.
What Your Donation Could Help Provide
This winter, MAA International is focusing on practical assistance that can help families face the harshest conditions.
Emergency Shelter
Family dome tents of around 18.3m², each suitable for five people. They’re made from durable, weather and UV-resistant fabric, with a strong aluminium frame, a protective groundsheet and a shade cover, giving displaced families a safer place to sleep.
Waterproofing and weather protection
Waterproofing sets that include a heavy-duty tarpaulin meeting Shelter Cluster specifications (covering around 20m²), along with thick plastic sheeting covering around 58m². Together, they help keep rainwater out of tents and homes during heavy rain and flooding.
Blankets and Bedding
Heavy 3kg winter blankets to help families stay warm through cold nights, particularly children, older people and those most at risk from the cold.
Warm Clothing
Clothing to help protect adults and children from freezing temperatures and harsh winter conditions.
Heating Support
Heating materials, including coal and wood, as well as electrical heaters where appropriate, to help families stay warm.
Other Essential Winter Supplies
Additional assistance based on the needs of communities, the availability of supplies and changing humanitarian circumstances.
Where Your Donation Goes
Your generosity. Directed where it’s needed most.
Your contribution to Warmth That Lasts will support MAA International’s winter humanitarian response.
While we have identified priority locations and essential winter supplies, the needs of communities in crisis can change quickly.
Donations will be directed according to humanitarian priorities, availability of supplies, operational requirements and access. Items and costs vary between countries and may change with availability and conditions on the ground.
This approach allows MAA to respond flexibly and help ensure that support reaches those who need it most.
When you give, you’re helping provide more than winter supplies. You’re helping create opportunities for families to face the season with greater warmth, dignity and protection.
Let's Make Warmth Last
For some families, winter means another night of uncertainty. Another night without adequate shelter. Another night wondering how to keep their children warm and dry.
But your generosity can help change that.
Your donation could help provide a blanket, warm clothing, heating assistance or a safer place to sleep.
Together, we can create a ripple of warmth that reaches further than we imagine.
Give warmth. Help it last.
