YONECO participated in the third and final round of cash transfers that was facilitated by Eagles Relief in Chikwawa district under the Malawi Drought Response Project, which is funded by ECHO through CARE Malawi.
The initiative aims to provide critical support to vulnerable groups, particularly the elderly, expectant mothers, and lactating women, who have been severely affected by the ongoing drought in eight districts across the southern region of Malawi.
The final distribution exercise took place across several targeted communities, particularly villages under Traditional Authorities (T/As) Masanche and Ngowe in the district.
A total of 1,600 beneficiaries were reached during the final phase, with each recipient receiving MWK 92,500. This support is intended to enhance household food security and enable recipients to invest in small-scale income-generating activities.
During the exercise, one of the beneficiaries expressed deep appreciation for the assistance, stating that the initiative has significantly improved their well-being by enabling them to buy food and venture into small scale businesses to support their families.
Other targeted districts are Thyolo, Blantyre, Balaka, Mangochi, Chikwawa, Zomba, and Machinga.
