Messy Gomani - Malawi
‘Life is miserable here. I am very worried, I don’t have anything. My biggest fear is, what next? Where am I going to stay?’
Messy’s family climbed on to the roof of their home in Nsanje, in a desperate attempt to escape the rapidly rising floodwaters. Rescue boats arrived but could not take everyone, so Messy’s husband stayed behind.
A boat returned for him but it capsized and he drowned, leaving Messy’s children without a father. The family heard about other people sheltering in schools in Mchere so they travelled there to find refuge.
Concern gave Messy and other families urgently needed items including soap, buckets, blankets and mosquito nets to help their short-term recovery.
As families go back to their villages, we are now providing seeds, tools and training so they can rebuild their lives.
To donate £5* to Concern’s Comeback from Crisis appeal text Comeback to 70099 or visit www.concern.net. All donations made before 13 December 2015 will be matched by the UK government to help even more people.
