Empowering the future of Malawi,
one child at a time
ORPHAN EDUCATION
We work to support orphaned children in overcoming the hurdles they face in accessing education, helping them to break the cycle of poverty.
Why education? Why Malawi?
In reality Malawi's secondary education isn't free, leading to only 15% of children completing it. In rural areas that completion rate is 10%.
The primary cause of this is extreme poverty, for most families putting food on the table is the constant challenge. Affording school fees, uniforms, books, shoes and all that education requires is unaffordable. Additionally, 11% of children are orphans, in part due to Malawi’s high HIV prevalence.
Our supported students are often raised by relatives or guardians, including struggling single parents. In some cases there are no relatives or guardians available and we call these households ‘child headed’.
