Thanks Abel for bringing our community ‘s attention to this issue though ( I don’t think using all these avenues before reaching to the user who did that was really necessary but I understand the context )
I just had a phone call with user:Nkunda102 , he is newbie with no skills of editing the metapage, he regrets his actions and will write a formal apology to the original author and the team receiving grants .
Best regards

Dear Florence,
It is with great regret that I am writing to report suspicious behavior by a user from Rwanda.
As part of the African Environment project that you are conducting in partnership with Wikimedia CI, I have submitted a funding request since February 14th [1].
However, as I was checking this morning to see if you have already decided on my project, I was surprised to see that the project has been slightly modified, and I am no longer the project owner. It is now the user Nkunda102 who has taken over the project. I did not want to simply undo his modifications, at the risk that he might come back again. I want to bring the situation to your level so that you know what to do, but at the same time, I would like to alert the whole community so that such behavior cannot happen again, because it tarnishes the image of Africa, as well as of Wikipedia.
