After ten years of operating under the name Friends of Mbala-Mbala, the organisation will now continue as Irrawaddy Earth vzw. With the name change, the association wants to better reflect its broader commitment to sustainable water management, climate resilience and cooperation with communities in the Global South.
In recent years, the non-profit organisation has supported local projects focusing on erosion control, rainwater management, ravine restoration, agriculture and capacity building. Under its new name, Irrawaddy Earth will continue to work towards strong communities and a healthy living environment, together with partners and sponsors.
