We are a Scottish founded and registered charity (SC039598) set up in 2007 and have been operating in Malawi for over 20 years with 6 different project partners.
I spent twelve months after leaving school in 2005 volunteering in an children’s home in Malawi, with Scottish charity Project Trust where I had responsibility for 24 children on a daily basis, and taught in the local nursery school when I had 50 local children who came for education and nutrition.
I returned to Malawi for several years after leaving the home in 2006, to visit the children, taking money we has raised to fund school fee’s, repairs etc. Upon my return to Scotland after each visit, I pondered upon a better, longer lasting way to spend the money I had raised rather than seeing it disappear on everyday costs before my eyes!
It was this that led to the fundamental idea behind Malawi Kids- sustainability. We have worked so hard to support our partners at the projects and pride ourselves on giving each Malawian we work with full ownership over their work, as it is only them who know what is best and we have seen some fantastic results.
Malawi Kids promotes and supports self-sustainability in orphan care in Malawi, Africa.
We aim to provide funding for projects such as;
-buying farm land to set up farms -community feeding programmes
-vocational skills training -setting up livestock income generating projects
Ultimately, children can learn key life skills that will help them become self sufficient upon leaving the orphan care project.
100% of the funds raised go direct to projects and updates are regularly made on our social media pages. Search @malawikids on facebook and @malawi.kids on Instagram
