About the Millennium Fellow
Franklin Mapira is a brown short guy born in Malawi and residing in Blantyre. Ever since my high school, I've been asking myself why is it that there is climate change, why is it that people tend to ignore the fact that taking care of the environment is the fundamental in life. I've being thinking about how best we can do to produce something from the waste, making it safe to handle and use it in seasonal or dairy activities, making thos products very affordable for the population that can not depends on the chemically man made products like fertilizer. Having grown up like that, I'm now at tertiary school I think this is the best time I can maje my dream real.
