The Comorian Red Cross (Croix-Rouge Comorienne) semi-postal issue supported humanitarian efforts, maternal healthcare, and child welfare initiatives across the archipelago. The stamp features a Comorian mother wearing a traditional patterned salouva (chiromani) tenderly holding her child, framed alongside the emblem of the Red Cross. Issued as a charity stamp, the denomination of 35F + 10F included a 10-franc postal surcharge directly allocated to fund local medical services, emergency relief programs, and family protection efforts throughout the islands.
