Ensuring Transparency: Accountability in Mwana Trust’s Distributions
For transparency and accountability, Mwana Trust ensures that every beneficiary signs upon receiving their food hampers, stationery, or uniforms. This process guarantees that the intended recipients get their support while upholding our core values of integrity and responsibility. By keeping a clear record of distributions, we strengthen trust with our stakeholders and partners. See students
