In rural Malawi, Christmas is not defined by glittering shopping malls or towering Christmas trees. There is no snow, no lights in the streets, and no busy stores packed with last-minute shoppers. But it still carries a warmth, a heartbeat, and a sense of togetherness that feels truly magical.
As the year draws to a close, we take a moment to reflect on the journey we have walked together, one defined by resilience, compassion, and a shared commitment to building stronger, healthier, and more empowered communities.
