Madam Mutharika said however that more assistance is required as the impact of the disaster is so huge.

She spoke on Sunday, when she received a  tonne of condensed milk from Double Disi General dealers company to be distributed to young children living in camps in flood affected areas across the country.

The First Lady hailed the company for responding to President Peter Mutharika’s call that every citizen must contribute something to assist fellow citizens hit by the disaster.

“We are grateful as Beatify Malawi that Double Disi General Dealers has so much confidence in us to donate these items to the people affected by floods through our organisation.

“Most Importantly we are happy that despite being small they saw it necessary to join hands with everyone else helping out in this cause of alleviating the suffering of fellow citizens affected by this tragedy,” said Madam Mutharika.

She appealed to more individuals, companies and organisations big or small to emulate what Dounble Disi General dealers as well as many organisations are doing towards the national response to the flood situation.

Torius Double, owner of the company said as a business they have been moved by the extent of the damage the floods have caused and the suffering of the people affected especially children.

“What has happened is unspeakable, but what we do as citizens to help the fellow citizens to restart their lives is what is important. The government is doing all it can and President Peter Mutharika’s declaration of the national disaster is a call to us citizens and the world over to do something towards this tragedy.

“We are hopeful that this little something we have given will help to sustain the nutrition status of the children living in the camps,” explained Mrs Double .

Up to a third of the country has been affected by the floods, affecting over 200,000 people.

komatu ndi mbava izi why not donate straight to the victims as AMRA has done? Akapeleka kwa masapota a DPP zimenezo or either you would have donated through Red cross malawi, World Vision, gift of the givers and other reliable bodies other than this one which doesnt have a cause of relief assistance at all. Other intending well wishers please donate through mabugwe okhulupilika not the Beams or the mulakhos sindale izi mwina a donor wa ndi a DPP

sometimes you wonder what the point of having all those advisers is. The most appropriate speech for the first lady, relevant to her beautify Malawi organisation woud have been advice on how to properly dispose of those tins; to educate people why having all those trees planted does not only beautify Malawi, but also mitigate the effects of floods on the properties of the people. it would have been an opportunity to educate people that while the water could still have devastated property etc, the trees would have lessened the impact of the floods. But instead, the speech is about… Read more »

Beam has nothing to do with Disaster aid,its all about showing off that its an important organisation yet its not.As the first lady is posing to be pictured time is wasted for those children to receive the milk bcz they are hungry,No brains.You cant pose for a picture yet ppl are hungry waiting for the donation.There are ppl who donated items in bulk but were not taken seriouslly,why this one tone news apreading at lightening speed???It simply shows no respect to ppl.Thats why you put on suits when visting flood victims forgetting that they are the ones buying you those… Read more »

I always laugh at some of the justification from BEAM when it comes to linking their organisation to some of these duties like relief distribution. It appears those crafting the terms and refs for this org had a narrow focus and now, through the back door, want to expand their area of focus. You make the first lady look like a cartoon justifying BEAM’s involvement. Dr Magalasi and Mr Bamusi, zinakhala bwanji pamenepa?
