May 2009 Developments at Ungweru

Ungweru in December 2008 acquired a new plot (approx
one acre) just off the Mzuzu - Karonga part of the M1
Motorway. The plot is bordering the fence of Mzuzu
University. Plans are being approved by the City
Assemby at the present time.
On the newly acquired plot, Ungweru plans to build new
offices incorporating a computer room, a conference
room and library, a hostel to accommodate 15 people, a
workshop for Solar Aid and a demonstration garden.
Clearing the ground will begin in March 2009
Ungweru is in the actual process to register as an NGO
(Non Government Organisation) and hopes the process
will be finalised before July 2009
Ungweru hopes to implement a forestry program
together with UNDP Malawi
Ungweru is working closely with Solar Aid and some
Ungweru Youth are establishing themselves in the
business of constructing mini-solar appliances.
Nutritional Programmes, with the help of Ungweru Youth
are being implemented
Former programmes of school fees, fertilizer grants to
HIV positive people continue on a smaller scale as they
are not sustainable in the long run and can create a
dependancy syndrome
Ungweru is also embarking on a new program of
promoting care, health and respect for animals.
Monitoring and valuation of the various communities we
work with is being scaled up.
