APPEAL FROM BOM FOR MALAWI
The village people of Malawi are complaining of hunger to the point that some are boiling mangoes as breakfast, lunch as well as dinner. This is due to the recent devaluation that has caused the rise in the price of maize on the market which is the staple and the only available food on the local market.

This problem stems from the lack of availability of jobs since those that tend to offer jobs are also affected by the devaluation crisis. For example, one of the beneficiaries of the organization is admitted to the due to the Melanie district hospital, suffering from anemia which has caused due to lack of balanced diet mangoes are only fruits, this situation is keeping life of children, women’s and elderly people in danger.

However emergency support to the village will rescue them, and the learn period is prolonged due to El Nino which has hit the southern part of Africa and Malawi the southern part have been hinted badly, the situation that is difficult to describe.

The situation is hopeless, this will lead to gender domestic violence, women and children will be the victims.
