The visit from Creighton University's Delegation

Last month, our organization was honored to welcome a distinguished delegation from Creighton University , XIM University , and Jesuit Worldwide Learning – Higher Education at the Margins Association . The visit provided a unique opportunity for our teams to share experiences and insights on harnessing sustainable development to empower refugees and host communities in Malawi.

Aligned with Jesuits Worldwide Learning’s guiding principle, “Learning for Transformation,” this exchange aimed to demonstrate the power of collaborative learning and social entrepreneurship in driving meaningful change. Our Founder and CEO, Gabriel Ndende Muholeza, is a testament to this commitment, pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Arts and Sustainable Development at XIM University’s School of Management, supported by Jesuits Worldwide Learning.

The delegation engaged with our team, witnessing the impactful projects that are reshaping the economic trajectory of marginalized communities. Our project presentation highlighted innovative solutions, strategic partnerships, and scalable models for sustainable development.

Le mois dernier, notre organisation a eu l’honneur d’accueillir une délégation distinguée de l’Université Creighton, l’Université XIM et Jesuits Worldwide Learning. La visite a offert une occasion unique à nos équipes de partager expériences et connaissances sur l’utilisation du développement durable pour autonomiser les réfugiés et les communautés hôtes au Malawi.

Conformément au principe directeur de Jesuits Worldwide Learning, “Apprendre pour transformer”, cet échange visait à démontrer le pouvoir de l’apprentissage collaboratif et de l’entrepreneuriat social pour impulser un changement significatif. Notre fondateur et PDG, Gabriel Ndende Muholeza, est un témoignage de cet engagement, poursuivant un bachelor en arts et développement durable à l’Université XIM en Inde, grâce au soutien de Jesuits Worldwide Learning.

La délégation a interagi avec notre équipe, constatant les projets qui transforment la trajectoire économique des communautés marginalisées. Notre présentation de projet a mis en évidence des solutions innovantes, des partenariats stratégiques et des modèles évolutifs pour le développement durable.

先月、私たちの組織はクレイトン大学、ジム大学、そしてイエズスワールドワイドラーニングの著名な代表団を迎えました。訪問は、マラウイにおける難民と地元コミュニティの経済状況を改善するための私たちの持続可能なプロジェクトを見学する機会を提供しました。

イエズスワールドワイドラーニングのガイド原則「変革のための学び」に沿って、この交流は、コラボレーションによる学びと社会的起業家精神が実質的な変化をもたらす力を示すことを目的としました。私たちの創設者兼CEO、ガブリエル・ンデンデ・ムホレザさんは、イエズスワールドワイドラーニングの支援を受けて、インドのジム大学経営学部で芸術と持続可能な開発の学士号を取得中です。

代表団は私たちのチームと交流し、経済的トラジェクトリーを変えているプロジェクトを見学しました。私たちのプロジェクトプレゼンテーションは、革新的なソリューション、戦略的パートナーシップ、持続可能な開発のためのスケーラブルモデルを強調しました
