The Development Aid from People to People (DAPP) Malawi has revealed that profits from its retail and wholesale shops are supporting vital social projects in education, health, and agriculture.
According to Anthony Ndeka, Area Manager for DAPP Malawi, the organization is using proceeds from its 18 retail shops and 12 wholesale shops to fund crucial initiatives.
These include paying school fees for needy students in technical colleges, training farmers in modern farming methods, and tracking HIV-positive patients who have stopped taking antiretroviral medication.
DAPP Malawi’s projects also aim to encourage people to undergo HIV testing. The organization’s social enterprises are creating employment opportunities and providing affordable clothing and shoes to communities.
Local residents, including Prisca Ntamalisha and Beatrice Jika from Ndirande in Blantyre, have praised DAPP Malawi for opening shops that offer affordable products.
