Our History

Wakwetu People’s Development Organization (WAPEDO) came into existence as a result of the motivation and personal initiative of its founder Rev. Anderson Madimilo to enhance the socio-economic status of the people and protection of the environment.

Rev Anderson Madimilo is an Anglican pastor who was raised in rural family, he is not a stranger to the hardships faced by poor rural families. He grew up witnessing the forests disappearing as a result of human activities, people becoming more stressed and losing their culture.

Having an experience of those challenges, the founder set out to do his best to make a positive difference in the lives of people and their environment.

WAPEDO made her to know the importance of trees. When people were destructing the forest for their own use, Mary supported them. Now Mary has understood that trees are the source of life, she does not destruct again and she is a good teacher to others. We were trained well! I am now aware on Forest Management. Thank you WAPEDO, what you have done is a big job that is helping the entire community, people have really benefitted from what you have shown us.
