The Founder and leader of Salvation for All Ministries International, Apostle Clifford Kawinga, says the ministry seeks to bring hope and smiles to families facing hardship, especially those affected by disasters.
Apostle Kawinga says the ministry believes it can impart a message of hope, particularly to people going through difficult times.
He said this on Sunday at Mkaika Primary School ground when his ministry, through the Hope Field initiative, assisted families affected by floods in the area of Senior Chief Mwadzama in Nkhotakota.
‘We are just responding to the challenge that the country is facing, as you may see that Nkhotakota was affected by floods. Looking at statistics almost 160 thousand people have been affected country wide in the 2025/ 2026 rainy season with nearly 36 deaths. So as a church we are responding to such challenges to make sure that we remain relevant’, Said Kawinga.
Apostle Kawinga added that the initiative provided maize to help ease hunger among the affected families, who are still struggling to recover, as well as plastic sheets that can be used to cover damaged roofs.
In his remarks, one of the beneficiaries, Kamkuzi Sentilawo from Mwatalaji Village, hailed the gesture, saying it will help reduce hunger in his household of six people.
‘I still recall the day my house fell when it was raining during odd hours, my wife, four children and I, we all slept under the three. Honestly this gesture has just come at the right time’, added Sentilawo.
According to the Area Disaster Risk Management Committee Chairperson, George Chikoya, about 1,183 households were affected by floods in Mwadzama A, while 910 households were affected in Mwadzama B.
Meanwhile, on Sunday, about 1,500 households were supported with maize, while 150 households received plastic sheets in Mwadzama B. The same initiative was also hailed on Monday in Mwadzama A.
Out of the 29 councils affected by disasters since the onset of the 2025/26 rainy season, Nkhotakota District remains the most affected, with over 10,000 people impacted, according to earlier information from DODMA.
