You’ve made a life-changing difference for children in Lipiri!

Lipiri community in Malawi is now flourishing and becoming self-sufficient - thanks to your kindness and support.

You didn't just target the symptoms of poverty. You worked hand-in-hand with the people of Lipiri to tackle its root causes – making the greatest impact on the biggest issues children faced. Today, children and their families are thriving and making progress on their own. Thank you for transforming lives!

The people of Lipiri created this special video to thank you for the amazing change you’ve made possible in their community.


 93% of kids are enrolled in primary school.

Thank you for bringing quality education to children so that they can write their own futures.

You've helped more kids get an education. Now 93% of kids in Lipiri are enrolled in primary school. That's an incredible change from just 59% when we started this journey, and it wouldn't have been possible without incredible sponsors like you.

Your support has helped provide extra teacher training, so now kids read with more understanding. As schools improve their teaching methods and resources, more parents are enrolling their children and more kids are staying in school.

Thanks to you, students now have plenty of books, school supplies and clubs to support their reading.

Children and families in Lipiri now have more sources of clean water close to home, thanks to your kindness.

100% of families have enough clean drinking water year-round

Thanks to your support, families in Lipiri now have more sources of clean water, and they’re equipped with the skills to maintain them.

Clean water means life. Thanks to your support 100% of families now have access to enough clean drinking water year-round! That means freedom for the children of Lipiri – freedom from waterborne illnesses.

You’ve helped set up safe toilets and hand-washing facilities at homes, schools and health centres.

Thanks to you, the community know that with good hygiene and sanitation, they can protect themselves from diseases that kill children.

Just 2% of children under the age of five are underweight

Thanks to you, children and families are eating well and staying healthy.

You've trained parents and caregivers to cook nutritious meals with local foods to improve nutrition and dietary diversity, ensuring children grow up healthy and nourished. Families are now growing their own vegetables, giving them a wider variety of food to eat.

Thanks to you, fewer young children are underweight and fewer children under five now suffer from stunting, a condition that affects how they develop and learn.

Because of you, new mums now know they must eat well to give their babies a good start in life, and most are breastfeeding.

53% of caregivers can provide for their children’s needs

Because of you, families are growing enough nutritious food for themselves with plenty left over to sell.

You've helped the Lipiri community learn better farming methods to get more from their crops and how to raise goats and chickens too.

You've helped more young people gain the skills they need to earn a living by continuing their education or learning a trade.

Savings groups you've helped set up in the Lipiri community are assisting many people to start businesses or pay for essentials like school supplies. With stable incomes and strategies to weather natural disasters like floods and droughts, parents can support their children and prepare for the future.
