Alaya lives in Malawi with her husband, Bazwell, and their three young children. They rely on growing maize to survive, but the weather patterns that have guided their farming for generations have changed. And its putting everyone at risk of sickness and starvation.
Frequent flooding is bringing diseases such as cholera and diarrhoea, which can be deadly for children. The floods keep damaging Alayas home and washing away the little food they have. And her crops are failing again and again.
This means that, for 11 months of the year, Alaya and her family are hungry surviving on just one meal a day.
With help from our local partner AG Care, Alaya and Bazwell are learning new ways to work the land under these tough conditions. Training like this is saving lives. Its giving people, like Alaya, a way to lift their families out of poverty for the long haul.
