CHOLERA OUTBREAK. From 2022 to 2023, Malawi faced the deadliest cholera outbreak in its history. This outbreak was a direct result of the widespread lack of clean water and proper sanitation. We partnered with three local organizations to conduct live-saving educational seminars.
MKAIKA SECONDARY SCHOOL. Installed 10,000 ltr solar water system for school and surrounding community. Project included drilling a new borehole, double steel tank-stand fabrication, (2) 5,000 ltr water tanks, and integrating all solar components (pump, panels, cables, pipes, taps).

Names, privacy, and removal requests More
The names, titles, and compensation shown on this page are reproduced from IRS Form 990 filings, which are public records.
Philanthropy.org does not alter the content of those filings. All information appears exactly as reported by the filing organization for the tax year shown.
We publish only information contained in the public IRS filing — and less than the filing contains. Our profile pages do not display street addresses, telephone numbers, personal email addresses, or other personal contact information, even where the filing includes them.
Many people share the same name. A name shown on this page reflects only what one organization reported in one IRS filing for one tax year. It should not be interpreted as identifying any other individual with the same or a similar name.
If you are no longer affiliated with the organization, your name will generally stop appearing in future IRS filings once the organization no longer reports you. Pages for tax years in which you were reported remain published because those filings remain part of the public record.
Philanthropy.org does not alter or remove IRS filing records. Removing a page from this website would not remove the underlying IRS filing, which remains publicly available from the IRS and other publishers of the same information.
If you believe the IRS filing itself is inaccurate, corrections must be made by the filing organization or the IRS directly.
