“We had a business shutdown in blackout due to terrible cyclone Ana from Mozambique. It has left hundreds of people homeless now with roads and bridges washed away. Schools have been temporally closed in the southern region including the district Ntcheu.
The number of affected families kept on increasing due to heavy rains that hit again on Saturday. The number is now at 53 houses/families. Some of these families are now living in their kitchen rooms outside their damaged houses; some are living with their relatives. Those who were in school and churches are now living in temporary houses. The Government has not yet provided them with any support. Red Cross Society and churches contributed to provide the victims with plates, plastic sheets to cover the roofs, buckets to be used to draw water from boreholes. We are still waiting for the government to intervene, but we do not know when and how. Actually the families need support with utensils, blankets, and food. They are going to rebuild their houses starting April when rains stop.
