The Department of Disaster Management Affairs (DoDMA) has announced that it has responded to 90% of disasters reported by various councils in Malawi this year.
The update was shared by DoDMA’s Principal Disaster Response Officer, Ephod Kachigwada, during a relief item distribution in Mulanje’s Muloza area, which was affected by Tropical Cyclone Jude on Friday.
The relief efforts were made possible through a K60 million donation from the Malawi Revenue Authority (MRA), benefiting approximately 700 people under Traditional Authority (TA) Njema in Mulanje.
Kachigwada highlighted DoDMA’s success in reaching many families impacted by disasters, including Tropical Cyclone Jude.
The MRA’s donation was part of their corporate social responsibility initiative, aimed at supporting vulnerable communities.
Wilma Chalulu, Acting Head of Corporate Affairs at MRA, emphasized the organization’s commitment to giving back to the community.
