Rwandese in diaspora donate 840 blankets to people affected by tropical storm ANA

The Rwandese in Diaspora Global Network on Tuesday (5th April, 2022) donated 840 blankets worth K3.5 million to people affected by Tropical Storm ANA.
Speaking in Lilongwe during the handover ceremony, the network’s advisor Ndatinya Juvenal said the donation is an expression of support and solidarity for people affected by Tropical Storm ANA.
“Truly, the affected people are our neighbours, we have been living with them in harmony for quite a long time and this time around, we thought of extending our assistance when they needed it the most.
“As a people, we wouldn’t have managed to prevent the disaster from occurring, it was beyond our capabilities but we can manage to assist the affected people in coping up with the devastating effects,” said Juvenal.
In his remarks, DoDMA’s Deputy Director responsible for Recovery Peter Chimangeni commended the network for the gesture saying it will go a long way towards addressing the needs of the affected people.
“Over 900,000 people were affected by Tropical Storm, out of which 190,000 were displaced and sought refuge in camps. The displaced lost most of their household items including blankets and clothes. Once again; we commend the network for this kind gesture," said Chimangeni.
The Rwandese in Diaspora Network started its operations in 2011 and has membership across the world plying their trade in various sectors.
