Multiple states in Malaysia are underwater due to severe flooding caused by two continous days of heavy rainfall. Countless people and animals are left stranded, homeless, cold and hungry. Meanwhile, aid is struggling to keep up due to high waters rendering many areas inaccessible, a shortage of volunteers and vehicles, and poor government response.
More than 21,000 evacuated as heavy rains continue to lash flood-hit Malaysia
International support is especially impactful for the provision of supplies, food and shelter. At the time of writing, USD1 = RM4.20. USD10/RM42 can provide a day’s worth of food for a family.
You will find below a list of organisations that accept international payments.

However, there are dozens of NGOs and mutual aid efforts that only accept payments from local banks. This is where artists come in.
