" I have heard so many good things about the program from some friends who were also
part of the program. I am always up for learning something new and grow as an
individual. What really excites me is that I have the opportunity to make my project
idea into a reality with the skills provided by the program "

As part of our cohort's community development project, we embarked on the Community Waste Management Initiative, aimed at addressing the pressing issues of broken sewage pipes and plastic disposal in our community, specifically within the University of Malawi and surrounding areas in Zomba.So, our objective was to create a cleaner, healthier, and sustainable environment by mitigating the dangers and risks associated with these problems.The community faced significant challenges due to broken sewage pipes contaminating water sources, posing health risks to residents, and improper plastic disposal choking drainage systems, harming wildlife, and polluting the environment.
