Over 800 families affected by floods in Mangochi West have received relief items worth over K4 million from the Janeh Ansah Foundation, bringing much-needed assistance to those struggling to recover from the disaster.
Speaking during the donation on Wednesday, the Foundation’s Executive Director, Yusufu Nthenda, emphasized the organization’s commitment to supporting vulnerable communities, highlighting Mangochi West as one of the areas heavily affected by floods.
The relief effort is a testament to the Foundation’s dedication to making a positive impact in the lives of those in need. Mangochi West is among the districts that have been severely hit by floods, leaving many families without access to basic necessities.
Mangochi West Member of Parliament, Ruben Kanyama, praised the Janeh Ansah Foundation for their timely support, acknowledging the significant difference it will make in the lives of the affected families. He also urged the government to continue assisting people affected by floods across the country.
One of the beneficiaries, Ireen Jasten, aged 60, from Chamba Village, expressed gratitude for the donation, saying it will help her family recover from the disaster. “This support is a blessing, and we are thankful to the Janeh Ansah Foundation for thinking of us in these difficult times,” she said.
The donated items, which include maize flour, exercise books, soya pieces, and clothes, are valued at over K4 million and are expected to provide relief to the affected families as they work to rebuild their lives.
The Janeh Ansah Foundation’s efforts demonstrate the power of community support and the impact that organizations can have in responding to humanitarian crises.
