For this week's Act mission I followed the work of the Center for Community and Organization Development (CCODE) in Malawi. Their goal is to provide financial and technical support to introduce household
eco-sanitation facilities to Malawi slums and informal settlements. At the same time Global Water Challenge is supporting CCODE’s program to provide loans
to households for eco-sanitation facilities in Malawi's capital city, Lilongwe and surrounding areas. In addition, women interested in providing materials and technical
support to households for the construction of these facilities will
receive business training and support. CCODE is not only improving the standard of living and health
conditions, but also generating new sources of income and cultivating
female entrepreneurs. I have since writen to the global water challenge website offering my services in the Lilongwe area during holidays, as I am currently studying PDEM, a postgraduate diploma in enterprise management and could help realy the skills and knowledge that I am gaining by doing the course to these women in Lilongwe. Furthermore, I have an extensive knowledge of the people and basic command of chichewa to help teach these women. As of yet I have not recieved a reply from the Global Water challenge, but look forward to their response.
