First and foremost, I have to apologise for the rather large delay in sending this out to everyone. While our time in Africa was amazing, I had the misfortune of contracting a serious strain of Malaria along the way.
It’s been an amazing year for Empower and on a personal front. I can’t think of a better way of savoring this year than by spending time in Malawi and seeing the impact of our collective efforts.
Empower started as a university project in 2007. I had the idea of a rural electrification project in Sri Lanka – I suggested it to fellow students and there was a lot of interest. The designing and fundraising led to us form a not for profit organisation.
