A Call from Africa

Starting December 2006 the Zambezi valley experienced flooding displacing people from low lying lands adjacent to the river. The people have congregated on higher land resulting in new accommodation centres and additional population in existing centres. We have been monitoring the situation and in late February decided that water and sanitation assistance was required in addition to the food, shelter, health, and non-food item distribution we were providing.
