Our Story
Since day one, we have been driven, innovative and hard workers in the push for being successful. This is also what we sell to our Clients.
Our story is traced to over 10 years ago. On 11/11/2011, two roommates and classmates at Mzuzu University, Precious Chaponda and Amakhosi Jere handed their respective dissertations for Bachelors’ degree qualifications. This was over 12,000 words research works, solutions to research problems in energy and environment, presented and defended to the research committee. The excitement that followed the submission triggered the dream of becoming consultants.
Therefore, they we did not spend much time applying for jobs after graduation. Rather, they responded to request for bids, calls for expressions of interests and proposals, calls for concept papers and business plans. It took about 2 years to achieve a major success; in 2013 they won an innovation grant sponsored by the Scottish Government and implemented a waste paper to cooking fuel briquettes, recycling project in Blantyre, Malawi. The impact was immense and it fired them to work even harder. In 2015, Naturenv Consult was officially registered.

We have grown our network of Consultants to over 20 Experts. We are reliable and provide value for money services.
