Floods
This year severe floods have impacted Rwanda and Zambia, Malawi, Mozambique.The severity of the flooding has caused widespread suffering and disruption. Theconsequence of the floods has been loss of land, crops and increased poverty. Some homes have been destroyed. Disease, especially malaria and resurgent covid, have affected people.
The following is part of a report received from Pastor Anastase in Rwanda who is the leader of PHARP, the organisation in Rwanda with whom ohfi partners.
“Our country has known catastrophic flooding and land slide which took many lives in different parts especially in Northern and Western Provinces including Rubavu, Ngororero , and Rutsiro Districts.
Over 130 people died and some entire families have completely disappeared.There is a lot of suffering and trauma for those who survived as they are left with nothing.
Houses were washed away with everything inside. People sheltered in churches,schools and tents.”
Please pray
— for favourable climatic conditions in the months ahead allowing crops to be resown and to bear a good harvest
- for good government and international help, be given to the victims of the floods so that they are able to re-establish their lives with hope for their future.
- for the re-establishment and success of our flood affected micro-enterprise support projects in Rwanda and Zambia.
