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.

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.
