OUR FELLOWS
As a secondary school student, Kitty Mngoli was profoundly influenced by an awareness event organized by a group of college students, where she heard disturbing statistics comparing the level of malnutrition in Malawi to that of war-torn countries.
Malawi is one of the poorest countries in the world, with 30 percent of under-five children being malnourished, and an infant mortality rate of 229 per 1,000 live births,” says Mngoli, who is resolved to do something to help change the situation, inspired by her parents and encouraged by her older sister, an AWARD Alumna.
