Last week, we were visited by the quality of care assessment team from Dowa District hospital. Read today's blog post to learn about how this exercise is important to us and the community we serve.
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:

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

Your dedication inspires us daily. Together, we give our all to Malawi, the Warm Heart of Africa.
We envision a Malawi in which all people, including women have independent opportunities to learn and flourish in stable communities that meet their basic needs. Our 100% African team makes a sustainable impact in Malawi through four interconnected programs:

As we have discussed in some of our past blogs, Malawi Vision 2063 has three key pillars that guide the focus of the Vision. These three pillars are meant to build on each other to create the inclusively wealthy and self-reliant nation that they envision. In this blog, we will look at the third pillar of MW2063: Urbanisation.
In Malawi, there is a famous saying that goes “Chuma chili mu nthaka” meaning “there is money in farming,” or in other words, “wealth lies in farming.” This saying is true for Malawi as farming is the backbone of the economy, with 85% of the population highly dependent on it. However, as much as most Malawians are involved in agriculture, they suffer persistent food shortages. This is because many smallholder farmers depend on rainfed and low-cost subsistence farming to meet their food needs. In this week’s article, we will explore what the life of a subsistence farmer looks like in the rural part of Malawi, in Dowa district near Orant’s headquarters.
Data is one of the most important tools in all our programs as it helps us measure whether our programs are making an impact or when it’s time for change. For the past three weeks, our Education program has been surveying schools in our catchment area. Check out today’s blog to learn more about how this survey is going to contribute to our Education program.
