Everything you do has value
Malawi is among the top 3 poorest countries in the world. More than 65% of the population lives below the poverty line. Of the 21.2 million population (in 2021), there are an estimated 2.5 million orphans, many of whom have lost their parents to HIV/AIDS. Added to this is the fact that much of the population does not live near major cities and has virtually no access to education.
At the Friends for Africa Foundation, our goal is to give children in Malawi (and Africa) a chance at a quality education, and we can use help with that. This can be in the form of donations, but there are also other ways to help. You can organize an action at school, work or in your neighborhood. Walk, run or bike with an existing event and get sponsored. Get involved as a volunteer in your hometown. You can also sponsor us as a company. Or think of your own 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 before. For all those children who now lack a quality education.
A little kindness gives life to others.

Mission and Vision
General knowledge is the basis for development. Friends for Africa aims to increase the general knowledge of the young generation in Malawi by encouraging and funding quality education in both primary and secondary (technical) schools. Improving education increases people's level of knowledge. When this knowledge is increased, people are better able to cope in various situations.
