President for Malawi Red Cross Society Innocent Majiya said the donation is timely as they will prepare families who are leaving camps.

According to Majiya the donated items which includes; kitchen sets, blankets, buckets, jerrycans and mosquito nets have been given at right time as the country is at recovery stage.

Concurring with Majiya, Chief Disaster Preparedness Officer at DODMA Natasha Mbengo  added that as schools will be opening on Monday they are hopeful that the donation will help other families who are relocating back to their respective homes.
