Education & Early Childhood Development
The Malawi Government has classified 7 areas of childhood vulnerability as nutrition, health, education, housing, water, sanitation, as well as social protection. We take a holistic approach by addressing all these areas to ensure maximum impact.
What We Do
- Bursaries for girls
- Solar lanterns
- Teacher improvement
- Infrastructure development
- School feeding programme
- Child sponsorship
The highest education an average Malawian receives is primary education. Together we can change this!
