Three hundred families affected by the rains recorded from November 2023 to January this year, in Malanje, benefited, last weekend, from help from the Angolan Red Cross (CVA), as part of the Emergency Project to Response to the Impact of Floods.
These are 200 families from the municipality of Malanje and 100 from Cangandala, who received 86 thousand kwanzas, in order to contribute to the rehabilitation of their respective homes, as revealed yesterday to ANGOP, the provincial secretary of the CVA in Malanje, Teresa Manuel.
He highlighted that the initiative is funded by the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, and also covers the humanitarian component, with emphasis on health, water and sanitation.
It should be remembered that since November last year, the province of Malanje has been experiencing constant rain, which has so far caused the destruction of 3,596 houses and left the same number of families out in the open.
The Red Cross of Angola is a non-profit humanitarian institution, with assistance and public utility objectives, endowed with legal personality and constituted in accordance with the Geneva Conventions, of which Angola is a party.
