He therefore appealed to companies, business individuals and government to help him financially to pursue further areas of his innovations in line with Malawi 2063 agenda
“My vision and mission is to reach out to young people by sharing with them my innovative ideas and skills to make them Malawi’s productive and innovative citizens in the world of technological advancement,” he added.
