The Chimanga Campaign
The goal of this program is simple: to boost maize production by providing farmers with access to quality input loans and management support.
The Chimanga Campaign: Strengthening Food Security Through Maize Production
- At ZENGA, we recognize that Nsima, a dish made from maize, is the staple food for nearly all regions of Malawi and beyond. It is a central part of daily meals, providing sustenance to millions. In fact, corn is a measure of food security in Malawi. However, despite its importance, many smallholder farmers struggle to produce enough maize due to limited access to quality inputs, financing, and proper farm management support.
With this realization, we launched the Chimanga Campaign—a strategic initiative aimed at boosting maize production as a direct approach to tackling hunger. By equipping farmers with the necessary resources, knowledge, and financial support, we ensure they can maximize their yields and contribute to a more food-secure Malawi.
Through the Chimanga Campaign, we provide:
High-quality maize seeds to ensure improved resistance, better yields, and climate adaptability.
Input loans to help farmers access essential fertilizers and other critical inputs without financial strain.
Farm management support will equip farmers with the skills and strategies needed for managing soil fertility, controlling pests, and practicing sustainable farming.
By strengthening maize production, we are not only supporting farmers but also ensuring that millions of Malawians have access to their staple food, making this project a crucial step toward ending hunger and fostering agricultural resilience.
