During a recent gathering of the African community in Indianapolis the Malawi Project was awarded the prestigious “Philanthropy For Africa Award” for the humanitarian work being done in Africa. The award and plaque were given during the annual “Taste of Africa” event held in downtown Indianapolis.
Accepting the award on behalf of the Malawi Project and its supporters were Richard and Suzi Stephens, members of the Board of Directors. In accepting the award Richard reviewed the accomplishments of some many people both in Africa and in America who had made the program successful over the past 7 years.
