Amid Malawi’s severe drought, early humanitarian interventions have been vital in protecting dignity and building long-term resilience in Dzaleka. While food and nutrition were prioritized, support also reached refugees, adolescent girls, and other vulnerable groups, helping restore hope.
Alice Apimbano, a mother of four in Dzaleka, joined a farming project supported by UNHCR. Host communities provide refugees with land to farm, while UNHCR supplies seeds and water tanks for irrigation that benefit both refugees and hosts. Alice says, “I’m very excited because my plants are doing well. I will have enough food to feed my family in the coming months.”
More than 420 farmers benefited from this project during the drought.
