The Malawian team started a 3-day working session on the 27th of July 2025 to brainstorm on the OHOPE project. The meeting was a great opportunity for the members to come together for the first time. The members shared key visions on the progress and adoption of the project and how feasible it will be for Malawi. Key documentation regarding the operations and proposal was drafted.

President Lawrence Luke chaired the session and directed the team on the core principles of the EKCOLAB organization and the vision for an inclusive Malawi. The meeting was attended by 5 members who are part of the steering committee for the OHOPE project.
