CISER is based near Mangochi town on the Southern shores of Lake Malawi. CISER is spear headed by local Malawian boat builder Joseph Makwakwa. We first met Joseph in 2008 and instantly struck up a rapport. CISER was the first community initiative we started working with and the organisation has grown in leaps and bounds over the past 15 years.

CISER youth work across their communities disseminating projects in healthcare, environmental awareness and education. The organisation also spear headed the creation of a village secondary school which is built on Joseph’s land.
