Malawi, Central Africa … While the sub-Sahara is gripped in a critical famine that promises to get worse as the months come and go, the Malawi Project is engaged in a three pronged effort to assist some areas of the country to take measures that will help offset the full impact of this food shortage crisis. With help from World Emergency Relief, Chapin Watermatics, and Agricultural Aid International three things are being done to help the areas affected.
One, the delivery of food, critically needed in a number of locations and needed even more as the months move farther away from the most recent adequate food production cycle. These are made possible through a joint program between World Emergency Relief based in Southern California, and the Malawi Project.
Two, the delivery of V-Tractor and Walk Behind units that will help increase field cultivation and production. By increasing production and output the strangle hold of the famine can be broken. These are made possible through a joint program with Agricultural Aid International based in central Indiana, World Emergency Relief and the Malawi Project.
Three, the installation of 5,000 drip irrigation systems, numbers of them placed in each of the three regions of the nation. These are made possible though a joint program with Chapin Watermatics of upstate New York, and the Malawi Project.
