North Sumatra’s communities are facing a humanitarian crisis. Deadly flooding has caused widespread damage across several rural communities, and RSPO Certified Independent Smallholders (ISH) are amongst those affected. Unprecedented rainfall has destroyed homes and washed away crops, leaving many families facing disruptions to shelter, essential services and road access. Immediate support is crucial to help smallholders recover and rebuild their livelihoods.
