ZOOM BRIEFING – ACAN EMERGENCY APPEAL FOR FOOD FOR THE GUMBI VILLAGES IN MALAWI
Hunger stalks the land at Christmas in Malawi. ACAN has launched an emergency appeal for funds for maize distribution targeted to 500 households in the Gumbi villages who are running out of food, after a very poor harvest in early 2025 due to drought. £30 will feed an extended family for 3 months until the April 2026 harvest.
The Gumbi Alton Permaculture Community Training Centre is ACAN’s climate justice initiative, a demonstration farm teaching local farmers sustainable farming. Within 3 years, the community should be self-sufficient in food, but right now they are struggling.
