Today's blog is an especially important one. The #drought in #Malawi stretches into its third year, leaving farmers and families with little food and few options. This year's rainy season started, stopped, then started again, and that unpredictability left many farmers with lost crops. Our Marketing Manager at Orant Charities Africa, Praises Padambo, interviews a smallholder farmer, Medson Kalenga, about his experience this season. Take a look. https://lnkd.in/gybeZY5v

Healthcare is our largest programmatic area, and within that is our cervical cancer screening program.

For those familiar with Malawi, you cannot ignore the importance of #maize to this culture. This week's blog looks at this #staplecrop and how maize has a place on every plate, at every meal.
