Apostle Kawinga Continues Supporting Communities with Food and Farming Projects

Renowned philanthropist and founder of Salvation for All Ministries International (SFAMI), Apostle Clifford Kawinga, who is also the owner of Creck Football Club, continues to extend his humanitarian work to communities across Malawi through food relief and agricultural empowerment programs.

For several years, Apostle Kawinga has consistently provided maize and food aid to vulnerable families during times of crisis — including the COVID-19 pandemic, Cyclone Freddy, and recurring lean hunger seasons. He describes these efforts as part of sharing the love of Christ and complementing government initiatives to combat hunger and poverty.

“This work is about love in action — meeting people’s needs as Christ did, while supporting government efforts to fight hunger in our nation,” Apostle Kawinga said.

This year, SFAMI is set to begin its annual maize and food distribution campaign from late November through February, targeting multiple districts nationwide. Thousands of families are expected to benefit from the initiative.

Alongside the relief program, Apostle Kawinga is also implementing the Hope Field Initiative, a community-based farming project designed to empower local farmers with tools, inputs, and modern irrigation technologies. The program provides items such as fertilizer, seeds, hoes, and solar water pumps to boost agricultural productivity and promote self-reliance.

The Hope Field Initiative is currently active in Machinga, Chiradzulu, and Thyolo Districts:

• In Machinga, seven farmers’ clubs have been established under Paramount Chief Kawinga, working with Senior Chief Mlomba, TA Nkoola, TA Ngulunya, TA Ntumbwinda, TA Nyambi, and TA Ngokwe.

• In Chiradzulu, four clubs operate under TA Nkalo, TA Mpunga, and STA Maoni, reaching over 1,000 households.

• In Thyolo, two clubs under Senior Chief Nkhwethemule and Senior Chief Mphuka have reached 4,000 households.

Each farmers’ club has received 10 bags of maize for m’memo (casual workers), 15 hoes, 50 bags of fertilizer, and a set of farm inputs and solar pumps to enhance irrigation and crop yields.

Apostle Kawinga explained that his dual focus on food relief and agricultural empowerment is designed to address both immediate and long-term needs of Malawian communities.

“We must not only feed the hungry but also help them grow their own food. True empowerment comes when people can sustain themselves,” he said.

Community leaders have hailed Apostle Kawinga’s efforts, describing them as a beacon of hope that blends faith-based compassion with practical development solutions.
