Everything you do has value
Malawi is one of the top 3 poorest countries in the world. More than 65% of the population lives below the poverty line. Of the 21.2 million inhabitants (in 2021), an estimated 2.5 million are orphans, having lost their parents mostly due to HIV/AIDS. In addition, a large part of the population does not live near the big cities and has virtually no access to education.
At the Friends of Africa Foundation, our goal is to give children in Malawi (and Africa) a chance at a quality education and we could use some help with that. This can be in the form of donations, but there are also other ways to help. You can organise a campaign at school, at work or in your neighbourhood. Walk, run or cycle along with an existing event and get sponsored. Work as a volunteer in your hometown. You can also sponsor us as a company. Or think of a creative way that suits you.
While poverty and education affect more children in Malawi than ever before, we can also make a difference with more people than ever. For all those children who now lack quality education.
A little kindness gives life to others.

Mission and Vision
General knowledge is the basis for development. Friends for Africa wants to increase the general knowledge of the young generation in Malawi, by stimulating and financing quality education at both primary and secondary (technical) schools. By improving education, the level of knowledge of people increases. When this knowledge is increased, people are better able to manage in various situations.
Completely voluntary
Vrienden voor Afrika is a foundation, established in 2002 in Bunschoten-Spakenburg. The board members of the foundation do not receive any financial reward for their efforts. The aim is to use 100% of the donations for aid in Malawi. Friends for Africa is completely dependent on donations and their volunteers. Would you like to become a volunteer?

A sustainable Malawi
Friends of Africa is helping to build a sustainable Malawi. As a foundation, we have placed the primary focus on education, working with you to significantly improve the level of education. We do this by building schools, supplying school materials, transferring knowledge and actively participating in the maintenance of previously implemented projects.
