This project is a global grant initiative led by districts ,district 9210, and
District 7620 uniquely positioned as a bi national district encompassing
both the Zambia ,mozambique and malawi .
Malawi is one of the poorest countries in the world, with 50.7 percent of the population living below the poverty line and 25 percent living in extreme poverty
WOMEN FEED THE FUTURE TO BECOME FREE FROM MALNUTRITION AND
FOOD SECURITY IMPACTS SDG 2 ,3 , 4 8
They make up nearly half the agricultural workforce in developing countries and,
when they have equal access to land and other inputs, their yields can improve by
20-30 percent, feeding up to 150 million more people. Empowered women are better
able to improve nutrition.
Women in smallholder households generally play a crucial role in caring for and
managing livestock and crop production and are, as such, key actors in food systems.
Empowering women in agriculture by giving them ownership of their assets and
power in decision-making has the capacity to not only close gender gaps and improve
the economy (9, 10), but also to strengthen food security at the household level and
allow for improved health outcomes for both women and children

Partnership and support
The Host club for this project is Lilongwe RD 9210 while our
International Partner is RD 7620. Both clubs are fully qualified to
lead this global grant. It worth noting that clubs contributing solely
through funding do not need to be global grant qualified.
Funding Breakdown and matching Opportunities:
By conducting this global grant within our district ,we are eligible for
substantial financial support:$32050
Community Assessment
A thorough community needs assessment has been conducted and submitted to
the rotary International Cadre. This ensures our project is aligned with local and
International needs and is set up for sustainable impact.Impact of climate change
is a significant but often hidden issue affecting the whole world .
This Project aims to increase awareness ,prevention, and support services to
combat climate change in these regions ,focusing on education,
outreach,entrepreneur and community support.
Community Needs Addressed by the Project:
1. Climate Change Awareness: Increase awareness in the Lilongwe and salima community about issues related to climate
change, particularly in tree planting to end malnutrition by planting moringa and
Breadfruit.
2. Linguistic Barriers and Sociocultural Approaches: Address language
barriers and develop appropriate sociocultural approaches. 3.
Needs Not Addressed by the Project:
1. Infrastructure Development: E.g., roads, bridges, and public
transportation.
2. Investment in Education and Health.
3. Promotion of Private Sector Investment.
4. Use of Natural Resources: Despite having unpolluted land and
beaches, the project does not focus on their development.
Community Strengths:
1. Training in Farmers Resource Management: Training in
farmers resource management.
2. Diving and Conservation Skills: Skills in diving, Plant identification,
and prevention of illegal charcoal burning and cutting down trees. 3.
Community Involvement: Active participation in awareness programs
and support from
Rotary clubs in cleanup projects.
Main Objective of the Project: To develop the capacity to address climate
change adaptation in deforested areas, promoting the regeneration of
breadfruit farming and an inclusive and sustainable Green economy.
Project Activities:
1. Farming Regeneration: Use tissue culture technology to replicate
breadfruit saplings.
2. Application of Tissue culture Methods: Improve productivity in
regenerating farming.
3. Mapping and Analysis: Assess the health of biodiversity ecosystems
for regenerating farming.
4. Professional Training: Develop capacities for the management and
regeneration of climate smart agriculture ecosystems.
Challenges Anticipated in Meeting Objectives:
1. Insufficient Technology and Financial Support: Lack of adequate
technical and financial infrastructure.
2. Inadequate Training and Limited Participation: Insufficient training
and limited community participation in decision-making. 3. National
Regulations and Strategies: Lack of formal regulations and clear
strategies to support climate smart agriculture.
Current Community Responses:
1. Conservation Efforts: Participation in awareness programs and CSA
2. Sustainable Practices: Shift in farming techniques and diversification
of livelihoods.
3. Community Involvement: Support from Rotary clubs in tree planting,
cleanup projects and pollution reduction.
Why Project Activities Are Appropriate: The use of Tissue culture
technology is the best way to improve Farming ecosystems, increase
biodiversity, and store carbon sustainably.
Scope of Work and Deliverables:
1. Baseline Study: Collection of socioeconomic and ecological data from
the Malawi Lake .
2. Key Deliverables: Initial report with data collection plan,
methodologies, timeline, and questionnaires.
Informed Consent Letter: Subject: Invitation to community leaders to
explain and obtain consent for the Tissue culture and carbon restoration
project ( so aid program)
Tissue culture is an innovative technology for the restoration and
conservation of tree planting ecosystems, especially Breadfruit trees.
Here's how it works:
What is Tissue Culture ?
Growth of tissues or cells in an artificial medium separate from the parent organism.
This technique is also called micropropagationPlant tissue culture is an efficient
technology for crop improvement . Micropropagation technology has a vast potential
to produce plants of superior quality , well adapted high yielding genotypes with
better disease resistance and stress
The technology involves applying actosol to the roots
How Does It Work?
Method of tissue culture root propagation :
3000 gallons of Actosol applied at a rate of 10 gallons per acre per year ( spread
over 4 times- planting in soil, as foliar or in soil post emergence and after each
harvesting. Trees generally planted 10-feet apart so 400 trees per acre.
So 3000 gallons will be sufficient for planting 400X300= 12,000 Trees
Project activities will focus on land applications as follows:
Additional Benefits: The mineral coating also helps protect the
underlying structures from corrosion and can improve roots stability by
reducing erosion.
Benefits of
Applications of Actosol:
Actosol for carbon farming in Agroforestry :Actosol an unique organic biostimulant
organic fertilizer well proven in USA and India in increasing carbon capture from air
by photosynthesis and storing in soils. It results from increasing root growth by 200-
300% and top growth by 125%+. It results in an average increase of 0.5% of
organic matter in soils and it is calculated to capture 10 tons of CO2 per acre ( or 25
tons per hectare) per year with the use of 10 gallons of Actosol per acre per year.
For Agroforestry farms in Malawi,on average 50 trees especially fruit, nut etc. trees
will be planted on 10 % of the farmlands in Kano Niger, Kaduna katsina areas in
Lilongwe and Salima Malawi.
Conclusion: Actosol is an effective and environmentally sustainable
technology that offers an innovative solution to the problems of roots
and forest garden degradation. By using actosol to
promote the growth of corals and other plant organisms, this
technology significantly contributes to the restoration and protection of
climate smart agriculture ecosystems. Small Micro Tree Planting Areas
