2019 THE SONDER PROJECT YEAR–END REVIEW WHERE WE WORK MALAWI COMING IN 2020 Commonly referred to as “The Warm Heart of Africa,” Malawi is also one of the poorest countries in the world and its citizenry of subsistence farmers are increasingly impacted by the effects of climate change each year. Additionally, the AIDS epidemic and economic stagnation continue to plague the people here. Fortunately, Malawi has not been impacted by the same terroristic threats that makes connecting our supporters to our work in Burkina Faso so difficult. As a result, we are expanding to Malawi to work in partnership and strengthen communities, while offering opportunities for you to connect directly to our efforts. We’ve already built one school in Malawi in partnership with buildOn, so we look forward to furthering our work and establishing our own office in the country. 14 15
