Fighting hunger amid a pandemic
75 year-old Emme Kanama of Zomba district is one among many people receiving support during this Lean Season Response. In March 2020, heavy rains washed away her crop field leaving her family including six grandchildren with no food to last the entire year.
With the MK 23,100 cash transfer she received, Emme bought maize, beans and oil to feed her family for a month. “During this time, its hard to even find piecework to make money to buy food and worse still, I am unable to work full-time as I have to take care of my grandchildren.”
