Help our School Children

After the introduction of free primary education in Malawi in 1994, secondary and tertiary education still has to be paid for. Due to this fact, the quality of teaching and learning and access to secondary education continue to be an issue.

Environmental Management

Malawi is endowed with a diversified natural resource base, which includes some of the most fertile soils for agricultural use in Southern Africa. The country has closed forest resources covering about 30 percent of the land area, abundant water resources and a remarkably diverse flora and fauna, of which the uniquely rich and diverse fish resources stand out.

Community Libraries

In an ideal situation a child by the age of 10 should at least be able to read and write. This is not the case in most African countries especially Malawi. Malawians have very little access to books or educational materials and this is because there are no public libraries in most districts and only one public library in each city.

Although government mostly provides education in Malawi, it is a great burden for most Malawian families to raise funds to send their children to secondary school as well as universities. Students from marginalized and disadvantaged backgrounds are far less likely to access both secondary and tertiary education

 

Food and Nutrition Security

Malawi continues to face several challenges in treatment and control of acute malnutrition with a prevalence of 37% stunting. Ntcheu District registers second highest stunting rate (42%) after Mchinji District which is 44%. In a common year households in Ntcheu experience ongoing seasonal deficits in food quantity for 2 to 4 months every year and they do not consistently consume a diet of adequate quality hence, chronic malnutrition.

Youth and Women Empowerment

Malawi’s population is largely youthful with 80% of its population aged below 35 years and with a median age of 17. The youthful population is acknowledged as being one of Malawi’s strongest assets, and the Malawi Growth and Development Strategy (MGDS) II 2011-2016 listed youth development and empowerment as one of its nine priorities.

Water, Sanitation and Hygiene

In rural communities of Malawi, 63% of households have access to basic drinking water while only 41% have access to basic sanitation services.  Consequently, Diarrhoea becomes responsible for 11.4% of infant and child mortality. Long distances to drinking water source consume a lot of productive time for other economic activities and place a disproportionate burden on female members of the household who normally collect water.
