About Us

Michael Gregson

Michael is a native of Kitchener, Ontario now living and working in Toronto. A former teacher, Michael now works for Abbvie at Allergan Aesthetics. He is a loving father to his daughter and a devoted husband.  His first mission to Malawi came from an innate desire to give back, to make a difference in the developing world; a notion which he puts into  practice with every fundraiser and school awareness presentation.

 To date, the projects funded through Warm Hearts of Africa have been chosen and supervised by Mike and Matthew through their frequent visits to Malawi, and through ongoing on the ground supervision from Sauscetain Kabichi who is a long time collaborator and beneficiary of our “Future Leaders Fund”. For the Tikondane Project, a partnership was established with the National Aids Service Organization, MANASO, (www.manaso.org) in order to provide ongoing, ground level support and oversight. In addition, we have worked with a nationally recognized community assistance group, AYISE, (Active Youth Initiative for Social Enhancement) www.ayisemw.org. AYISE helped to administer and provide oversight over the St. Paul’s project as well as the Malawi Future Leaders fund.

Together, this ensures a high level of accountability and direction over all funds raised through Warm Hearts of Africa. This way, you know exactly where your money is going and how it will be used.
