The Development Aid from People to People Malawi (DAPP) has donated 5804 assorted family packs of clothes worth K16 million to people affected by Tropical Storm ANA.
Speaking on Wednesday (23rd February, 2022) at Samson Village, ST/A Chiputula in Chikwawa District, DAPP Project Coordinator for Emergency Patrick Jafali said the organisation felt the need to assist people affected by Tropical Storm ANA-induced floods.
“We hope that the donation will make a difference. Each and every pack comprises assorted clothes befitting family, meaning that there are clothes for men, women and children.
“Chikwawa will receive 3804 while Nsanje will get 2000 packs and these will be distributed in camps set in the two districts,” said Jafali.
In his remarks, Commissioner for Disaster Management Affairs, Charles Kalemba said most of the children in camps were not going to school because their clothes were washed away.
“What DAPP has done will enable learners have some clothing and be comfortable to attend classes. Most of the people in camps lost their clothes, the donation is need-based and will go a long way towards improving the lives of the displaced people,” said Kalemba.
