MISSION MOMENT

For 33-year-old Sigere Medison, a single mother in the Balaka District in Malawi, life took a harsh turn when an El Niño weather phenomenon affected her community. “El Niño left a devastating impact on our lives. We used to eat only once a day and sometimes we would go to bed without food. Being a mother of four, with two children under the age of five, it wasn’t easy for me,” Sigere shares. Relief came when PWS&D and Canadian Foodgrains Bank implemented an emergency response with the help of local partner CARD. Sigere received monthly cash transfers for five months. “Since November, life has been smooth. My family has been able to eat throughout the day. I am forever grateful,” Sigere shares with a smile.
