Wadi Kandemanje turns 111 years old but lives alone without help. The elderly man stays at Mpama Village under Traditional Authority Malemia near Zomba. He cannot walk and waits for relatives to bring food when they remember him. Many days pass without meals or basic supplies for the centenarian. His long life brings more suffering than celebration from family members.
James Kajawo leads One for All Organisation and visits Kandemanje regularly with donations. The director brought flour, soya pieces, cooking oil and soap during recent trips to the village. Kajawo asks community members to care for aging relatives who need daily assistance. He believes elderly people deserve respect and comfort during their final years on earth. The organisation has made multiple visits since April with food and clothing items.
Kandemanje was born during 1914 and has witnessed major changes across Malawi. His body grows weaker each month but his mind remains alert to current events. The centenarian depends entirely on charity from neighbors and occasional family visits. Local groups like One for All provide essential items that keep him alive each week. Community support makes the difference between survival and starvation for forgotten elders.
