A faith-based organization leader encouraged citizens to adopt irrigation methods as a reliable approach to combating food insecurity during the Tuesday launch of agricultural cooperatives in Ntchisi. Clifford Kawinga of Salvation For All Ministries International stated that government resources cannot sustain every household and emphasized year-round production capacity through water management systems. The Hope Field Initiative Project established multiple groups of 200 farmers each in areas governed by Senior Chief Kalumo and Senior Chief Chawanda.
Participating cooperatives received 50 fertilizer bags, solar-powered watering equipment and farming implements to enhance output levels. Both traditional leaders praised the intervention, with Kalumo pledging to create oversight committees ensuring transparent resource distribution among members.
Kawinga described agriculture as both sustenance and a commercial opportunity for the nation's predominantly farming population. He expressed confidence that committed effort would generate lasting community transformation and eliminate hunger through cooperative production models that combine practical assistance with spiritual development principles.
