Who are you trying to help? What issue are you trying to address?

The FISD Institute of Agriculture Water and Environment in Lilongwe, Malawi offers two-year diploma programmes in Irrigated Agriculture and Agribusiness Development and Management. We are currently looking for any donation or grant up to $15,000 so that we can stock our science laboratory. This institution, FIAWE, is privately owned but trains as many Malawians as possible in order to complement government efforts which are minimal.

Our brochure is attached, as well as our requirements for the laboratory.

What is your project and how will it help?

Our project is buying laboratory equipment. It will help us train students more effectively allowing them to do experiments linked to what they learn in class.

At present we can only offer theoretical lessons.

How can other people partner with you on your project?

By providing funds to purchase equipment, or by providing relevant equpipment.

Please detail the resources that you need.

Total amount needed is roughly $15,000
