  • Mission

    We are a 501(c)3 non-profit providing educational support to orphaned and at-risk children in Mangochi, Malawi. Every year the people of Malawi face life-threatening diseases in the form of malaria & HIV/AIDS, leaving thousands of children orphaned or struggling to pay for daily needs & education. Our goal is to provide the educational and livelihood support necessary for these children to have a future of self-reliance and hope.

    About Us

    RiseUp Malawi currently serves over 300 children in our free afterschool program, supports 20 secondary school (highschool) students with full scholarship, and has provided free farming training for over 60 local farmers. We also have a music program where children can explore difficult subjects like HIV and child marriage awareness through song and dance, and a monthly girls empowerment program and annual retreat. Our goal is provide relief from extreme poverty and hunger through education initiatives that empower children and their families to lift themselves up from within. We do not give handouts, but believe education is the key to liberating our community from generational cycles of economic hardship.
