The Worst Floods in Malawi's History

In 2015, tens of thousands had their homes destroyed or severely damaged in what many called “the worst floods in Malawi’s history,” after extended, severe storms. Much of the population already lived with chronic food insecurity, and this disaster was crippling, if not deadly, for many households.

In areas where Hand of Hope had been working for years, caring for children and providing water relief, we distributed emergency relief packs to those most affected. These packs included much-needed food supplies, household items and repair kits. They were distributed through our local church partner, Trinity Church, who is reminding people that God is always with them.

Our ability to respond at times of disaster was made possible by the support and prayers of our friends and partners. Thank you.
