MWL Secretary-General Sheikh Dr. Mohammed Al-Issa, Malawi's First Lady Monica Chakwera, Minister of Water and Sanitation Abida Sidik Mia, and other government and humanitarian officials attended the inauguration ceremony.

Dr. Al-Issa emphasized the project's strong alignment with Islamic humanitarian values.

Chakwera expressed gratitude for the MWL's efforts, highlighting the project's transformative impact on thousands of residents previously grappling with water scarcity, pollution-related diseases, and untimely deaths.
