Every February, tens of thousands of Malawians run short of maize for their staple food, nsima. Irrigation farmers can time a sizable harvest for February as a stopgap.
10 acres of maize might yield from 1,000 to 2,500 pounds of flour. When mixed with local vegetables, this harvest represents upwards of twenty million calories: that is, 10,000 - 15,000 meals.
On behalf of the farmers, we are very thankful for the support you offer to us!
