Food Distribution Aid Needed to Feed Malawi’s Hungry

By Raising Malawi on 07.14.10

This year’s surplus harvest of grain means that there is enough food for all Malawians in need of aid. But there’s a hitch: Malawi has no money to transport the food to those who need it.

The Council for Non Governmental Organisations in Malawi, an umbrella body for NGOs, had urged the government to,

[C]onsider mobilizing resources for relief operations other than wait until the ugly face of this [possible] catastrophe begins to take its toll on the people".

If no funding can be found by October, the number of vulnerable Malawians will grow from 718,000 today to approximately 1.1 million.
