Deforestation remains one of Malawi’s most pressing environmental challenges. In most rural communities, firewood is the primary source of fuel for cooking, and many other daily activities involve cutting down trees.
Orant Charities and Opulence Malawi Join Forces
At Orant Charities, collaboration is one of the values we take seriously. We believe that there is no better way to learn, explore, make an impact, and utilize resources than collaborating with communities, individuals, and organizations. Last week, we took a major step in collaboration by signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Opulence Malawi, an organization making a difference in the lives of people in Traditional Authority Chakhaza, Dowa district. This partnership is a significant milestone for us, and we are excited to share what this means to us and the communities we serve. To learn more about what this partnership means to us and what we envision from it, read our latest blog article.
