🌿 After Tropical Cyclone Freddy devastated her crops in March 2023, Roseby Mukawa faced an uncertain future. Yet, with determination and support, she transformed her situation. 🌪️ In partnership with the Manitoba Council for International Cooperation and the African Confederation of Cooperative Savings & Credit Associations (ACCOSCA), CDF Canada provided Roseby and other farmers in Malawi with seeds, fertilizers, and crop cuttings. Roseby used these resources to grow fresh produce for her family and even sold surplus vegetables at the local market, generating additional income to household expenses such as school fees. 🌱💪 Read more about how Roseby rebuilt her future: https://lnkd.in/gSiNYPze #VOICEWNG #BecomingAVolunteer

🌿 Meet Margret Kholowa, a resilient farmer from Malawi! 🌿 In the wake of Tropical Cyclone Freddy’s devastation, Margret was one of 160 farmers who received crucial support from CDF Canada. With the vegetable seeds provided, she ensured her grandchildren had enough to eat and generously shared her harvest with the community. 🌽👩🌾 March 2023 brought one of the most severe cyclones in history to Malawi, causing widespread destruction and devastating farming communities through the loss of crops and seeds for the next year. In response, we partnered with the Manitoba Council for International Cooperation and the African Confederation of Cooperative Savings & Credit Associations (ACCOSCA) to provide seeds, fertilizers, and cuttings to help impacted farmers rebuild.
