malawi orphans - gap year

helping

give the orphans of southern Malawi the start in life they deserve.

Malawi is an incredibly poor country. It is estimated that up to seven million people, from a population of 12 million, may be on the edge of famine. Your project work will provide food and shelter to these orphans, you will renovate crumbling buildings, carry out community development work and spend time in the local schools and day care centres. Part of your donation will also sponsor one child through secondary school. The beauty of this project is in its variety and the fact that it exposes you directly to the warmth and unforgettable welcome of the Malawian people.
