“After going through what they achieved during the review and assessment meeting, we all agreed that it was the only NGO that implemented at least 90 percent of their planned projects.”
Senior Chief Nthache appealed to APW to continue with their projects and assured them of his continued support in his area and the district as a whole.
“We believe with APW initiatives, illiteracy level will be minimised by the end of the four-year project in 2018,” he said.
APW executive director Noel Msiska said they implemented the project with funding from Norway through the Malawi government.
“We also want to applaud government for working with us whenever we ask them and government has been responsive to the issues brought before it,” he said. n
