About Hope4Malawi

Malawi is one of the world’s least developed countries.  75% of the population earn less than $2 a day and more than 10% of the population regularly go short of food.

Since 2008 Hope4Malawi has been involved with projects in rural villages, schools and orphanages to give children in Malawi a better education so that they are better equipped to impact and bring change to their own communities so they can move beyond the poverty trap.  We now partner with three rural primary schools Mpemba, Chipwepwete and Namende(in rural Blantyre)  providing

At Mpemba:

• a feeding programme for 1,800 children at Mpemba Primary school since 2013
• a kitchen in 2013
• a fully resourced library and classroom block in  2014
• provision of a librarian and ongoing resourcing of the library including provision of solar lamps

At Chipwepwete:

• a feeding programme for the 800 children at Chipwepwete School from 2015
• a library and classroom block  built in 2016
• a classroom block built  in 2019
• desks and other resources
• provision of a librarian and ongoing resourcing of the library including provision of solar lamps

At Namende:

• a feeding programme for the 700 children at Namende Primary School from 2018.  The enrolment has now increased to 812

Other projects include:

• a district and national secondary school sponsorship programme since 2017 now supporting 45 students
• delivering and developing Project My Girl/MyBoy in the schools we partner with
• a borehole in a rural village which now has clean water
• dormitories for an orphanage
• teaching and taking assemblies in a rural primary school
• teaching for pastors at seminars and conferences
• solar power for computers and training teachers at Mbame school
• benches for school children to sit in several schools
• mosquito nets for orphanages
• benches for the local prison
• seminars on poverty related issues in schools and youth groups in the UK

In 2020 our plans are to:

• Finish building a bridge at Chipwepwete to allow more children to come to school
• Build a new secondary school at Chipwepwete to open in 2020 – Hope CDSS
• provide and resource a reading room at Namende school where there are currently no books
• Continue to develop the MyGirl and MyBoy reaching more rural schools
• Develop the computer project started in 2019
• Assist with teacher training in all the schools we partner with
• Develop our secondary school sponsorship programme supporting children in district and national boarding schools
• Develop a sponsorship scheme for students at Hope secondary day school

We continue to take safeguarding seriously taking note of the Charity Commission’s advice. We  take steps to ensure child care/vulnerable adult protection, through DBS checks in the UK, and practice statements in Malawi.
