We are so happy to have a wonderful, dedicated team on the ground in Malawi making things happen for Kusewera! We are an established NGO in Malawi, that is the entity running the programs in Malawi.

Wilma Saidi, RNM : Country Director – Wilma has been an important part of Kusewera since the start of the community center in 2017. She originally volunteered in her spare time from getting a Bachelor of Science degree at Daeyang University’s College of Nursing and Midwifery in Malawi. Her dedication to the community created the vision of what Kusewera could be and has since led the way in the Community Center’s journey. She has exciting ideas that stem from her foundation of growing up in the very same community that Kusewera serves. 

As a nurse, she will also manage all health-related projects, initiatives and programs including the weekly clinics for under 5’s in collaboration with our partners at the Chitedze Clinic and guidance by Wandikweza.
