Grain Bins Running Out of Food
Thondwe, Malawi … As famine grows more serious in Malawi another shipment of food has arrived at the warehouse in Namikango. Distribution to the most serious areas of famine has begun. This is the second shipment in the past 3 months and more shipments are planned as funding becomes available. As village grain bins reach the end of the last remaining food supply from 2015 the situation is growing more and more serious.
Weather conditions in 2014-15 were not conductive to the production of enough food for village people to reach the next harvest. Add to the seriousness of this fact that conditions in 2016 are already warning of another serious crop shortage. Two years in a row will bring catastrophic conditions to many villages that have already been adversely affected by last year’s poor harvest.
NOTE: THE PILL CONTAINER PROGRAM HAS ENDED.
Your Response Will Feed Many
Jim Messenger, a member of the Project’s Board of Directors notes, “During 2015 thousands of people, along with hundreds of churches and organizations responded to the call for empty prescription containers for Malawi hospitals. While the pill containers did not carry a cost themselves most contributors invested $10.00, $20.00 or $30.00 in postage to send them to Indiana for shipment to Malawi. With the end of the pill container program on December 31, 2015, the need comes to help famine relief. If everyone will send a check or on-line contribution for the same amount of money they paid for the pill containers we can supply food for thousands of people.”
