Never “Just a Girl”

15M primary age girls will never enter a classroom.

Together we can rewrite their stories. Help us create a world where every Malawian girl can go to school.

When we sponsor a student, we commit our support for their entire education, from primary school through university.

Youth Empowerment

Fighting gender-based violence and building self-confidence through athletic, vocational, and artistic programming.

Agriculture & Agroforesty

Reforestation efforts and agricultural support to ensure families have enough to eat.

Community Welfare

Building new homes and providing other basic needs to the most vulnerable members of our communities.

End child marriages
