Kalenga MP Jackson Kiswaga donated 1.5 million Tanzanian shillings to 12 households affected by a storm in Ng’enza village, Iringa District. His secretary, Yustini Mgao, handed over the aid on behalf of the MP, according to Daily News.
The storm, which struck on 21 October, damaged houses and soaked food supplies in the hamlets of Lutengelo and Muungano. Magulilwa ward councillor Boaz Mbilinyi said the families still needed help to repair their homes and replace their food.
Elizabeth Ngailevanu, a widow raising four young children, was among those affected: the roof of her house was torn off and her provisions were soaked. Magulilwa ward executive officer Merad Mpulule urged residents to report weather-related risks to local authorities promptly.
