We've all heard about climate change
Melting ice caps and unseasonal rains
But have you heard of the other side
With droughts affecting those in poverty?
This is the situation across Malawi
Crops fail leaving families hungry
Tribal leaders come asking for help
Tearfund introduce conservation farming
Farmers are given drought resistant crops
Hardy, sturdy, with a high yield
No longer will they have no harvest
Their families tonight they'll feed
This is making a difference
This is a success story
Farmers are feeding communities
Across large parts of Malawi
