Potential Financial Boost

The U.N. has put out a call for 88 million dollars of donor support for Malawi. This money would fund both immediate food aid and farming for next season.
The article mentions the complete dependence that Malawian farmers have on rainwater. It would be good to see an irrigation program developed alongside the fertilizer aid. At a Children of the Nations farm I visited, crops were extremely healthy due to a simple irrigation system. Such systems would bring stability to the Malawian agricultural market.
