WUSC in Malawi, 30th anniversary - Part 1

To mark their 30th anniversary in Malawi, World University Service of Canada (WUSC) summarizes the impact its programs have had from 1981 to today. Volunteers -- whether students or professionals -- are at the heart of WUSC's work and have contributed significantly to improving the lives of thousands of people in this southern African country.

Pour marquer le 30e anniversaire de son travail au Malawi, l'Entraide universitaire mondiale du Canada (EUMC) fait le récapitulatif de l'impact de ses programmes depuis 1981 jusqu'à aujourd'hui. Les volontaires, qu'ils soient étudiants ou professionnels, sont au cœur de l'intervention de l'EUMC et ont contribué significativement à améliorer le sort de milliers de personnes dans ce pays d'Afrique australe.
