Support Malawi have built 4 schools, 2 primary and 2 secondary which we run hand in hand with the government as grant aided schools. Our schools consistently produce high pass rates and selection to national and district schools, colleges and universities.Because our care and commitment to the children enrolled on our projects is long-term, we guarantee to support them until they graduate. We recognise that whilst some students do well academically, some are more practically skilled. Our Skills Training Centres offers these students training in various areas such as tailoring, mechanics, hairdressing, welding and fabrication which all give them a good opportunity to be able

We are hugely proud of the farm at Namisu. With 565 children to feed Monday to Friday from our Primary School , there is no shortage of little mouths to feed. We use conservation agriculture as one of the farming methods and are already seeing an increase in harvest yields.

These lead farmers then take the knowledge they have gained and select 25 local farmers from their own communities and teach them the methods they have learned. In total, after 2 years, our training will have reached more than 3,600 rural farmers

Support Malawi are pleased to share photos and stories from the beneficiaries of our adult literacy and numeracy classes. We are running the first course attended by 20 adults for an hour each day.

With these skills, we will be able to support our families better now than we are currently managing.
