SERVING HUMANITY
Health
Most Malawians never see a doctor in their life. We train rural communities on health matters and operate mobile clinics nationally.
EDUCATION
Planning for the future requires upskilling and education. We set up and operate schools from primary through to vocational colleges and university scholarships.
COLLABORATION
We strongly believe in uniting efforts and working together and have developed partnerships internationally with governments and charitable organisations to bring more benefit to Malawi.
FOOD & WATER
Food shortage, polluted water and lack of nutritional fulfilment are fundamental challenges we need to face. Through irrigation and fish-farms, wells and clean water programmes we are making an impact.
