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.
