We work to improve the lives of underprivileged children and young adults in southern Malawi by initiating or supporting educational, medical and youth employability projects in rural and urban areas.
We believe the only way to improve the general welfare of children and young adults in Malawi is to provide them with the chance to go to school, to eat at least one meal a day, and to teach them tangible vocational skills. Our aim is to provide the next Malawian generation with a self-reliant future, so that they, in years to come, can help themselves.
Our Mission
Advocate and foster the education, health and well-being of children and young adults in Malawi.
Provide educational and medical assistance for children and take all other measures to improve their welfare.
Establish, maintain, support and manage educational and medical institutions, provided that these are created for the aims and objectives of the Children’s Fund, on a non-profit basis.
Transfer ‘ownership’ and responsibility for CFM projects to local Malawian management as soon as these projects are sustainable.
