Get Your Goat

We are helping with animal husbandry in Malawi. Goats and other animals are important for livelihoods, especially in rural villages. With Ripple Effect, we show local farmers how to get maximum value from their resources.

Trees and Entrepreneurship

We work with USAID and other organizations to plant millions of trees each year in Malawi. We also work with local entrepreneurs such as the Land Resource Center to nurse seedlings and spread the Ripple Effect.

Unleash a Swarm of African Bees

For people in Malawi, African bees are a good thing. Bees provide more than honey...



Candles and soap are made from the wax. Honey is eaten by the farmers and their families. What is less known is that trees are saved from deforestation as a result of bee hives.

See how Ripple Effect works (with bees)

Thank you for your support

I am very excited for everyone that has given to the Ripple Effect.

Thanks for your support, which is changing lives in Malawi, Africa.

With the help of Washington State University friends, alumni, students, and faculty we are making a tangible difference. Stay tuned for updates from Malawi -- from our people working on the ground every day.
