2012 – A Challenge For Malawi

2012 is perhaps going to be the one of the greatest challenges the country has ever faced since 1994 when it became a democratic country.

Long term challenges currently being faced include; Forex shortage, fuel shortage, lack of jobs, just to name a few. The results are now clearly being seen within the country as small short outburst s of criminal activity happen in certain parts of the country.

Self Sufficiency

The biggest question is how does the nation move forward and become self reliant and self sufficient? It seems majority of the problems that generate criminal activity are merely materialistic shortfalls people in the village aren’t even familiar with, yet they continue to function as a community.

Despite short falling in the Warm Heart Of Africa, one can’t help but think, isn’t there an opportunity available within all this chaos? The breath taking sites Malawi offers have never been marketed to their full potential, resources available within local communities haven’t been discovered nor nurtured, the hidden young talent that has been seen to appear nationwide, as well as the steady increase of tourism. Perhaps the Wawa Malawi Development Project Strategy is just what the country need!!

Mission Statement

‘To enable poor local Malawians to become self sufficient, through practical training and education’

Wawa Malawi Development Project

The Wawa Malawi Development Project is designed to help the local community gain a variety of life skills with the objective of becoming self sufficient. This will be through practical training and education by involving international and local partners, large organisations and the local community.

Strategy

Develop a series of strategic learning weeks throughout the country, and involve volunteers from educational institutions, local based companies, agriculture farms, international volunteers, transport and accommodation providers, to support and deliver training by constructing a well networked and fully equipped structure that involves training and work placement. Through harnessing regional strengths and local skills combined with efficient equipment to enable financial stability within communities that would thus increase contribution to eradicating poverty. Preparing local communities with necessary knowledge and education on problem solving skills and tackle tasks through a strong network of supplier providers and charities.

Expected Outcome

  • Increased practical educational system for those who cannot afford to pay for Higher Education.
  • Increase in community relationships.
  • Community financial stability increasing country economy
