Maloto

Maloto, meaning "dreams", is dedicated to bringing lasting, positive change to Malawi.

Maloto is a dynamic community-based organization based in Mzuzu, Malawi. We believe in the women and children of Malawi and their ability to become strong leaders. Despite being a peaceful nation, Malawi is facing significant social challenges that are keeping our children from reaching their full potential. Over-burdened schools, HIV/AIDS, high poverty rates, and women’s lack of equality are having a devastating impact on our communities. We began our first project in 2003, the Mzuzu Academy, in response to these challenges and to give our children competitive educational opportunities that are currently unavailable. We believe deeply that now, more than ever, our children need access to quality education.

Maloto is committed to local solutions to local problems. Our projects encourage community empowerment, self-reliance and sustainability. Solutions generated by the local people help ensure that community development remains a critical priority, and a goal that is not only obtained, but one that is sustained.

By working with local partners to develop and support programs for nutrition, education and entrepreneurship, Maloto fulfills its mission to FEED-EDUCATE-EMPOWER women and children.

Your donations support Malawian children and women achieve their dreams and build their communities. From educational support for children ages 3-18 years to H.I.V medical and social services and women’s empowerment, your donation helps to feed, educate and empower tomorrow’s leaders.
