Able & Willing presentation to FSK Lions Club
Jim Carpenter and Maggie Nato Lusweti will speak to the Francis Scott Key Lions
Club at their Tuesday 10/28 meeting about the Able & Willing
International Educational Foundation.
Able & Willing International Educational Foundation (AWIEF) is an all-volunteer
(no paid staff), grassroots nonprofit organization dedicated to establishing
schools and improving health and nutrition in areas of extreme poverty and need.
Starting in 1994 with just one school building in Zaire (now the Democratic
Republic of Congo), the school has expanded from preschool through high school
and technical school on two campuses. Starting in 2010, AWIEF has begun projects
in Mali, Cameroon, and Kenya and another province in DRC. http://AbleAndWilling.org
Jim Carpenter is the treasurer and technical advisor with a background in
mathematics and information technology. He first did volunteer work in the DRC
in 2002.
Maggie Nato Lusweti, a native of Kenya, is a Microsoft Certified Systems
Engineer. She has a master’s degree in International Trade, speaks Swahili and
Spanish, and has organized Able & Willing’s efforts to help schools in Kenya,
currently working on a project to establish a school for children with
developmental disabilities in Kenya.
