      <image:caption>Madame Anitha José, Treasurer of SHG Fanasina Tsararivotra: “The cyclone completely destroyed our sources of income and our entire life at home. The furniture, our belongings, everything is gone. Today, we are lost and disoriented. We are alive, yes, but we do not know where to go or how to start again. Our daily work, our livelihood, has been wiped out. We do not know when we will recover. For now, we are simply here… in uncertainty.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Member of an urban Self-Help Group: “We thank God that we are still alive after the cyclone. But look at what happened to us. When the winds became violent, we had to flee. During that time, our belongings were looted. The few valuable things we had—a bicycle, stored rice, a little money—everything disappeared. Today, we have no shelter. We could save nothing. And until now, we are not even able to return to work.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Fruit &amp; Épices: A startup supported by La Fabrique, a business incubator and ally of CRMF, already was active in export markets before the cyclone’s impact. Raw materials were destroyed and, more critically, the main production machine used for processing spices and dried fruits was stolen during the night. This equipment represented the company’s most significant investment and the core of its operations. Despite these losses, the business is attempting a gradual recovery and is striving to fulfill an urgent 50 kg order to maintain client trust and sustain its operations.</image:caption>
