HOPE RESTORED TO FLOOD AFFECTED FAMILIES IN SALIMA

Following the floods that affected households under Traditional Authority Kalonga in Salima District earlier this year, the Anglican Diocese of Lake Malawi, with support from the Anglican Council in Malawi, distributed relief items to affected families as part of its commitment to standing with communities in times of need.

The Guest of Honour, The Right Reverend Daniel Kalonga, Bishop of the Anglican Diocese of Lake Malawi, reaffirmed the Church's commitment to supporting vulnerable communities while encouraging people to take responsibility for protecting the environment to help reduce the effects of future disasters.

Also in attendance was Ms. Mercy Mpakula, Director of Economic Planning and Development (DEPD), who represented the Salima District Commissioner. In her remarks, she expressed the District Council's sincere appreciation to the Anglican Diocese of Lake Malawi and the Anglican Council in Malawi for responding to the Council's appeal and supporting families affected by the floods.

Senior Chief Kalonga thanked the Church for remembering the people in his area, noting that although some time had passed since the floods, the relief will still make a significant difference in the lives of the affected households.

Also present were Canon Dr. Mphatso Luzuwano, Diocesan Secretary; Mr. Oscar Mponda, Diocesan Projects Officer; and The Venerable Chalemba, Archdeacon of Salima Archdeaconry, who joined the Bishop and other stakeholders in the distribution exercise.

The relief package included 50kg bag of maize, beans, cooking oil, salt, washing soap, and water bucket, bringing hope and much needed support to the beneficiary families.

Together, we restore hope, strengthen communities, and share God's love through action

The Bishop of the Anglican Diocese of Lake Malawi, the Rt. Rev. Daniel Kalonga, has expressed concern over the growing tendency of some traders who purchase farm produce from local farmers at prices far below the government set minimum farm gate price.

Bishop Kalonga made these remarks during a diaconate ordination ceremony held at St. Mary's Anglican Church, Buzi Parish in Ntchisi on Saturday, May 23, 2026. He called upon the government, law enforcement agencies, and local leaders to work collaboratively with the Church in protecting farmers from exploitation by unscrupulous traders who continue to offer unfairly low prices for agricultural produce.

The Bishop further advised farmers against selling all their produce prematurely, warning that such practices could lead to food shortages at a later stage and negatively affect household food security and the nation at large.

Speaking at the same event, the Guest of Honour, Hon. Anold Kadzanja, MP for Ntchisi North Constituency, echoed the Bishop’s concerns, noting that such malpractice places a significant burden on Malawians, particularly farmers who are already grappling with the high cost of agricultural inputs.

The ceremony also marked an important milestone in the life of the Diocese, as seven ordinands were ordained into the diaconate. The newly ordained deacons are:

Rev. Deacon Trevor Den Desilva
Rev. Deacon Frazer Mzungu
Rev. Deacon Jonasi Chisonga
Rev. Deacon Flavious Peter Damba
Rev. Deacon Alex Luka Yapola
Rev. Deacon James Jezikamale
Rev. Deacon Stencam Sinkaika

The ordination signifies the Diocese’s continued commitment to strengthening its ministry and expanding its service to the people of God.
