Updates on survivors Of Cyclone Freddy April 2023



Over a month and some are still without help.

Eagle Wings has gone with hand to hand food and water and basic needs`

Over 500 reported are dead, more not counted. Most bodies will not be recovered from under the mud and boulders. over 476 reported still missing but thats just the ones that have been reported. Still as of writing this villages havent been reached. 

Our Pastor Charles was working in Blantyre. He managed to get a ride to the nearest spot off the main damaged road. After that he had to walk 5 hours to his village, that had been swallowed up. Killing his relations. He said it was like walking into the end of the world. His village is near the Mozambique border. Huge boulders had rolled off Mount Mulanje. the mountain has split. bodies burried and hands sticking our from under boulders. He was the first to reach his village. It was devastating. He talked to a few survirors whom were left with nothing. they were very dramatised This was over 3 weeks after the cyclone. They were without shelter or food. Fortunitly they could still get fresh water off the mountain.

Every family missing a loved one or finding a dead body of thier loved ones. Lots of Children perished here. We will never know the true figure.

Pastor Chales wife Odita's Village was also one of the worse hit by the cyclone. But as of April some help has reached that village. 

Below are some of the photos recieved from Pastor Charles.

We as Eagel Wings plan to continue to support Nsanje where Pastor Julius is. But our project is to support these two forgotten villages that have been wipped out. Not just now but for as long as the donations continue. Helping the most desperate first. Even after all this time the only way to reach these villages is by air. 

We are properly going to try motorbikes. Will you join us on the Journey to bring back a village of death to a village of homes and crops and a life again. Please join us on this very speacial journey. Become a regular giver.
