Apostle Clifford Kawinga of the Salvation for All Ministries has urged individuals and organizations to join hands with government in addressing the hunger crisis that continues to affect many parts of the country.

He made the appeal in the area of Sub-Traditional Authority Malembo in Lilongwe during a ceremony where his church distributed 6,000 bags of maize worth over K200 million to 4,000 people from villages under Traditional Authority Chiwaula and Sub-Traditional Authority Malembo.

Apostle Kawinga said the food crisis calls for unity of purpose among all sectors, noting that no single institution can handle the challenge alone.

“This is not the time to work in isolation. Government, faith groups, and development partners must join forces to ensure no family goes hungry,” he said.

He added that his ministry has introduced a nationwide program aimed at supporting farmers with fertilizer and other agricultural inputs to boost production.

“We are empowering farmers to farm productively so that they can achieve food sufficiency for themselves and their communities,” Apostle Kawinga said.

Traditional Authorities Chiwaula and Malembo commended the church for the donation, describing it as timely and life-saving for families struggling with hunger.

Speaking on behalf of Traditional Authority Chiwaula, Bleston Kalebe said, “This support has come at a critical time when most families are desperate for food. We are truly grateful for this gesture of love and care.”

The ceremony also featured a mass healing and repentance service organized by the Salvation for All Ministries.

Meanwhile, through its Hope Field Initiative, the ministry is implementing community empowerment projects across selected areas in Machinga, Chiradzulu, and Thyolo districts.

The initiative, championed by Apostle Kawinga, aims to promote food security, sustainable livelihoods, and community resilience by providing farmers with irrigation solar systems, fertilizers, maize seed, and other essential agricultural materials.

Apostle Kawinga said the program is designed to create long-term solutions to food insecurity.

“Our goal is to build communities that can stand on their own — producing enough food and even selling surplus to improve their livelihoods,” he said.
