Strengthening resilience against drought

Food supply is a major challenge in the Nkukula project region in the Dowa district of Malawi. One reason for this is the increasingly shorter rainy seasons and longer periods of drought, which lead to crop failures. Sign of Hope helps to improve the food security and living conditions of about 1,500 households.
