KOMAI

KOMAI is an organization in Malawi that builds social projects with creative impact. KO stands for ‘collaborating’. MAI is the month of May in French and spring season in the Northern Hemisphere. The organization runs a number of projects in the country. Its first project, Music 4 Malawi, is a music education program for underprivileged children and musicians in HIV/AIDS afflicted Malawi.
