May 2023 - On April 29, 2024 and in the days that followed, Brazil's state of Rio Grande do Sul recorded rainfall three times higher than normally expected for this time of year. Over 1.9 million people, more than 15% of the state's population, were affected by floodings across 441 of Rio Grande do Sul's 496 municipalities. Through a project with the Canadian Red Cross Society (Canadian Relief Supplies) and needs that have been identified through the Humanitarian Coalition, World Vision Canada and its local partner in Rio Grande do Sul will distribute hygiene kits to help meet the basic needs of the most vulnerable people affected by the crisis in Brazil.
