Very sobering update out of Malawi this morning:

Gerrit and Bart were able to visit some districts in the Upper Shire area (not the hardest hit area) and even there, Mulanje for instance has 650 people displaced and staying at a local school. Most districts have not been able to fully complete their assessment reports as they have not been able to reach all areas of their district. These should be completed by tomorrow.

Cyclone Ana hit southern Malawi yesterday and today. Some areas have been hit hard, in other areas the damage appears to be not too bad. In order to get a realistic picture of the situation in these areas, the water will first have to subside. We can be thankful that the rain has largely stopped at this point. We are now waiting for the water to subside. In the meantime, we are preparing for the coming days.

Tomorrow Timotheos will decide what help is needed in which areas. Will you join us in praying for the people of Malawi? 🙏

Sharing of the Christmas Story by Abusa Paul Davies and providing a little hope through Christmas packages - the highlight in a trying and difficult season! Also an update on Cyclone Chalane which has just made landfall this morning in Mozambique.

Learn how the pilot irrigation project, possible due to partnership with Southern Irrigation, will not only provide nutritious food to our centre and the surrounding villages but also create opportunity to educate the children at the centre in regards to irrigation, production of food and the business side of marketing and selling.

Every wonder what it is like to live in a rural community in Malawi? We have so very many things we take for granted everyday…

Winter has arrived in Malawi! This brings on a new set of challenges for our beneficiaries and their families. Imagine not having a sweater to wear to help keep you warm? Imagine not being able to sleep at night because the house is just too cold…
