Thanks, Marnie! We are incredibly proud of all the inspiring commitment our communities have, including the way they share knowledge with people who aren't directly enrolled in the program. It's this kind of ripple effect that really enables meaningful change!
Hi Christina,
I couldn't agree more! It's so important to engage with the community and to help them build a solution that is appropriate and empowering. It's been amazing to see how impactful this can be, and our organization is incredibly proud of all the hard work our Malawian program team is doing to build relationships that foster real, sustainable change. I am happy to hear you this approach!
I'll find you on LinkedIn, and best of luck!
