Parliamentarian Christopher Ashems Songwe of the Likoma and Chizumulu Islands has taken action to alleviate critical hunger in his constituency.
Songwe has secured bags of maize valued at approximately K1 million to be distributed to 200 ultra-poor households.
The initiative aims to provide immediate relief while awaiting government’s free food distribution program, ensuring such families have something to eat.
Bishop Robert Likangala from the faith community, which will facilitate the food distribution, have guaranteed their integrity, promising that no deserving household will be left behind.
“This collaborative effort demonstrates a commitment to supporting vulnerable communities.” Said Likangala.
Songwe’s efforts reflect his dedication to addressing food insecurity in his constituency. With government support on the horizon, this interim solution provides crucial sustenance to those in need.
