About Us
Sex education and menstrual hygiene workshops are conducted to raise awareness on sexual health and menstrual care. Our previous work has trained local women to produce reusable sanitary pads, which were distributed to 672 girls in six schools. We aim to expand this project and welcome new ideas.
We also run initiatives to empower women through income generation. This includes providing soft loans to help women start small businesses, as well as training others to produce and sell traditional crafts such as jewelry, handbags, and shoes.
We welcome volunteers to support teaching in local schools, assisting with English and other subjects to improve education for children in the community.
Our medical health internship offers exposure to real healthcare settings in Malawi. Volunteers observe medical practice, support staff where possible, and learn about healthcare challenges in resource-limited environments. Placements are in government-approved hospitals and clinics, and require open-mindedness and adaptability.
Our law and human rights internship allows volunteers to work alongside legal professionals providing free legal aid. Activities include assisting with case preparation, supporting clients, observing court processes, and participating in community awareness on issues such as domestic violence, land disputes, and family law.
