We have a personal relationship with every one of our partner villages and will remain in those villages until they are on the path to sustainable development.

Local Leadership
Real change comes from the grassroots. That’s why 100% of our development staff in Malawi is Malawian.
Our Personal Connection
We are not distant benefactors, but true partners. Many of our supporters travel to Malawi to break bread with and work alongside our Malawian brothers and sisters.
