From 10 to 35 guinea fowls: Investing in his children’s future.

For Samala Gume, a father of six from Nsanje, 10 guinea fowls have grown into a valuable source of income, food and hope for his family.

Through the Building Community Resilience through Agricultural Commercialization and Agroecological Approaches project, with support from the NCA-DCA Joint Country Programme, Samala received 10 guinea fowls.

Today, his flock has grown to 35.
By selling just five guinea fowls and 20 eggs, he earned MK110,000, which he used to buy school uniforms, notebooks and food for his children.

“This project empowered me by giving me capital that continues to grow.”

Samala’s story shows how a small investment can grow into a pathway to education, food security, income and resilience.

“The five goats that I was given were a game changer. I can now buy school uniforms, notebooks and pens without any challenges. For this, I am grateful.” — Catherine Simati.

For 44-year-old Catherine, a mother of six from Chisungwi Village in Nsanje, five goats became the beginning of a new chapter.

Through CARD’s Building Community Resilience through Agricultural Commercialization and Agroecological Approaches Project, with support from NCA/DCA, Catherine received five goats through the pass-on initiative.

Today, her herd has grown to 14 goats and she has already passed on five goats to another project participant. She now dreams of expanding her herd, rebuilding her house and buying cattle.

Five goats. 14 today. And a future filled with hope.

From Disaster to Resilience: Pilirani’s story of hope.
For years, every storm meant fear and another costly repair for Pilirani Richard, a mother from Mphonde Village in Chikwawa.

Today, she is looking to the future with renewed hope and confidence. Through the Building Community Resilience through Agricultural Commercialization and Agroecological Approaches Project supported by Norwegian Church Aid Malawi/DanChurchAid (NCA/DCA) Joint Country Programme, Pilirani’s home was reinforced before the rainy season, helping her family avoid evacuation camps and giving her the peace of mind to invest her hard-earned income in improving their livelihood.

Her story reflects a powerful change: from constantly recovering from disasters to preparing for them and from surviving to building a more resilient future.
