Affected areas help with reconstruction
Rising cyclones complicate living conditions
Due to increasing cyclones, districts such as Chikwawa and Nsanje were hit by floods in 2019 whose maize fields were destroyed. Mangochi was one of the hardest hit areas by drought, leaving many families hungry.
The government of Malawi in times of disaster tries the maximum, but due to insufficient resources it is unable to reach all affected areas, hence it had declared Malawi a disaster area and called on all well-wishers to help and support the affected families. Bolera is one of the affected areas, but aid is far from reaching all areas.
Emergency aid in this region was needed in the form of corn.
Expected impact of interventions
- The burden of the maize deficit on beneficiaries in affected areas has been reduced
- Reduced incidence of malnutrition within beneficiary communities
- Children continue their education and do not have to work extra in the fields
