3 African Charities in Malawi
At Orant Charities Africa, we are honored to work alongside other non-profits equally committed to serving the Malawian people. Malawi is a kind, hospitable, and spiritual country. Its poverty doesn’t overshadow its beauty nor its potential. We’ve compiled a list of 3 African charities who, like us, want the best for Malawi.
Our friends at Wandikweza are bringing healthcare to the people. Like Orant, they work closely with the Malawian government and other partners to strengthen primary healthcare. They deliver healthcare services to rural communities with mobile outreach clinics and nurses on bikes. They also train Community Health Workers to implement health promotion, disease prevention, and community-based development. Each year, their team reaches more people than the last. In 2021 alone, they served over 86,000 Malawians.

If your heart cares deeply about orphaned children, you should know about Zoe Empowers. Zoe works in 7 countries, including Malawi. Their unique program design has helped more than 100,000 children overcome extreme poverty. How? They empower children with the skills and support to independently gain:
- Food security

Zoe Empowers has collaborated with Orant’s Financially Empowering Microloans for Women Program to train local women in business management. We love working with them. Find out how to get involved with this standup organization here.
Save the Children believes every child deserves a future. Working across 118 countries, this organization has devoted 100 years to standing up for the rights and interests of children. They have 3 main goals:
- No child dies from preventable causes before their 5th birthday
