VOICE OF IMPACT
The TAGDev program represents a blessing to me. It has enabled me to undertake my studies for a Bachelor of Science in Agribusiness Management at Egerton University in Kenya. I have had the opportunity to meet people from different countries in Africa. Through this exposure, I have been inspired to address the challenge of learning resources shortage in Malawi.
