Determined to Develop

I volunteered with D2D while living in Malawi. The friendships and connections made through this organization have been life changing. The work that D2D is doing in rural Malawi is unmatched. D2D' is devoted to educating the poorest of the poor in the northern region of Malawi. So far, D2D has had an amazing impact on the students and families in Malawi, and it is my hope that this will continue to grow and that we will be able to change even more lives!

I have been working with and donating to Determined to Develop for the past 6 years. I have seen first hand how the funds are used and the excellent work done by this wonderful organization. The work they are doing with women's empowerment and education will have long lasting, positive impact not only on the Chilumba region, but indeed the entire country of Malawi. Their board is very involved in how their funds are utilized to the most effective and efficient manner possible.

I am so happy to continue supporting Determined to Develop. Since day 1 I have always felt confident that my donations were being used for what was best in the community they serve in Malawi. I really appreciate their timely feedback on project updates and the communication with a sponsored student. I can see the impact they are making and truly know that they are committed to doing the right thing by their beneficiaries.

D2D is a really nice NGO, In my opinion they support the people of northern Malawi with exactly the right programs. D2D sees local challenges and act with the right solutions. I´m really happy and thankful for all the things I´m learning here and for all the experiences I made!

I volunteered with D2D this past summer, and it was the best experience of my life. The staff as well as the community were some of the most inclusive, supportive and extraordinary individuals I have met.

D2D is a fantastic charity that goes above and beyond their call to serve. I feel completely confident at all times that my donations are being used in an effective way that makes the largest and most appropriate impact. They are a charity that works closely with local communities to make sure their programming is what is needed and it's because of this that they have had huge success. I particularly appreciate their focus on education, making sure that a person's financial status does not impede their access to quality education.

I was lucky enough to work with D2D on a research project through my university. This organization understands community-based solutions and the quieting of the ego required to make sustainable change. They are active members in their community and during my visit, it was evident that the community trusted and appreciated D2D's efforts. If you're involved with this organization, you can be confident you're making a difference.

I was introduced to D2D through a partnership with my university to conduct research for 9 weeks on topics relevant to the area. It was incredible to be able to see first hand the work that they were doing for so many people in the area. The atmosphere created by D2D is unlike any other. The organization aims to be give opportunities to everyone, from sponsoring students in need to employing young professionals starting their careers. D2D is also always developing new ideas, programs, and strategies to address needs for the community they serve. The sponsored students and staff make the campus feel more like home than you could ever imagine - whether you’re there for a day, a week, or a year.

I have supported this charity for many years and have found them to a effective change-makers at a grass roots level. Many of their initiatives have started as subsidized programs and are now self-sustaining through their own program participants. They work to meet real, rather than perceive needs and truly change the lives of those they
serve. I look forward to continuing to support D2D in the years to come and encourage others to do the same.
