Cyclone Freddy spared no mercy as it unleashed its wrath upon Southern Malawi.
Cyclone Freddy is both the longest-lasting and highest-ACE-producing tropical cyclone ever recorded worldwide. It struck Southern Malawi March 12, 2023, triggering 6 months’ worth of rainfall in 6 days, causing floods and mudslides that killed more than 1,216 people, 537 missing, 1332 injured and 659,000 people have been displaced. More than 2 million farmers lost their crops as 440,000 acres of land were destroyed or washed away, and 1.4 million livestock were drowned, starved, or lost. After the Storm, Malawi’s Farmers Face a Precarious Future.
Southern Malawi now faces an extreme crisis. Families are in dire need of shelter, clean water, food, and medical supplies. The road to recovery is long and arduous, but we at Nurture Our World, have an impactful way we can make a difference, but we need your help.
Nurture Our World has been given a tremendous opportunity to make an enormous impact!
At Nurture Our World, we have proudly supported the President of N.O.W. in Malawi, Joseph Chipokosa, in acquiring 6 acres of land, seeds, and fertilizer for planting maize. We recently purchased Joseph’s latest crop, consisting of 150 bags of maize weighing 110 pounds each. These precious grains were shipped and gratefully received in Southern Malawi, where they will make a significant difference!
“In March 2023, our community was hit by the devastating cyclone storm which destroyed thousands of houses and swept away crops in farms belonging to the people within our catchment area. By the Grace of God, 68 needy and very vulnerable families that lost everything during the storm started receiving a monthly food donation of corn which is our staple crop donated by Christine Kipp of Nurture Our World Foundation from Arizona, USA. The maize was distributed from the month of November 2023 to February 2024.We are immensely grateful for this timely assistance that saved majority from the hunger and malnutrition.
