Karonga Diocese through its Development Desk has assisted communities in Karonga District with construction materials to people who were affected
\nby floods in the rain season of 2016\/2017. Karonga District received fairly normal to above normal rainfall amounts.
\nThe district received persistent heavy rains in most areas which eventually led to increased flash floods and water
\nlogging leading to loss of lives, injuries, massive damage to houses, household property and infrastructure. Due to
\nthis, some households were displaced and they needed to be assisted with construction material for them to have a permanent shelter.
\nThe Development Desk with funding from Catholic Relief Services assisted the affected household with Iron sheets, Cement,
\nDoor frames, Window frames, Solignum gallons and Nails. In total 316households have been assisted.
\nOne of the targeted houses that was affected by both heavy rains and cyclones is Mr Kalambo in Village Head Shemu Mwakasungula under
\nGroup Village Head Mweniyumba of Kyungu.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
