Chikwawa, Malawi – July 17, 2024 – It is the second day of our technical meeting in Nchalo, Chikwawa, where we reviewing the impressive activities implemented during the last quarter of 2024. Our Programs Manager, Arthur Lichenya, highlighted that CARD is on track with its projects aimed at supporting the people of Malawi, especially those affected by natural and induced disasters.
“We are dedicated to fulfilling our vision and mission at CARD. Our hardworking team is committed to assisting and responding to the needs of Malawians,” Lichenya emphasized.
This quarterly technical meeting has drawn project coordinators from various districts we operate. It began with a field visit on July 16, 2024, and is scheduled to conclude on July 18, 2024.
During our field visit, we visited the Sand-dams project in Group Village Headman Mzondola, Traditional Authority Mbenje. We are implementing this project with funding from Sand-dams Worldwide. The project aims at building water and food security for farmers in the Southern Region of Malawi. Notable interventions within the project include water harvesting, Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) initiatives by drilling boreholes for safe drinking water and natural resources management.
Additionally, we visited our Nkhwanikulibe Irrigation Scheme in Group Village Chithumba, Traditional Authority Mbenje, where we are implementing the Irrigation Agriculture for Rural Food Security and Economic Empowerment project. This initiative aims at enhancing communities’ access to safe, nutritious, and sufficient food all year round. The objective is to increase food and nutrition security among the targeted households and CARD is implementing the project with funding from All We Can.
The ongoing discussions and evaluations at this technical meeting reflect CARD’s unwavering commitment to improving the livelihoods of Malawians through innovative and sustainable solutions.
