Many children in Malawi are orphans or live in extreme poverty and often struggle to find enough food to eat, let alone find the time to focus on their education. However, our school meals project means that they get a hot meal whenever they attend pre-school. This helps improve concentration, creates an incentive to attend, and provides a benefit not only to their educational needs but also to their health.
Thousands of people live with disabilities in Malawi. Our project works closely with each disabled child and their family. We assess what physiotherapy each child requires as well as providing equipment and funding life-saving and life-changing operations. Some successes include helping children and young adults to sit up alone, walk and talk and feed themselves. All of these achievements enhance their independence and dignity.
Malnutrition is one of the major health problems facing the developing world, and is one of the leading causes of death in Malawi. Community tree clubs grow fruit trees to improve their diets as well as donating fruit trees to local schools and vulnerable people too. They can sell any surplus fruit at local markets giving them a more self-sufficient life.Â
