Creating Stability in Malawi One Year at a Time – Orant 2022 Recap

Orant Charities Africa makes a sustainable impact in Malawi through a holistic, local, and data-driven approach to supporting women and communities. We envision a Malawi in which all people, including women, have opportunities to flourish in stable communities that meet their needs.
In 2022, Orant saw growth in each of our programs.
Not all progress can be seen in numbers. Angela Samson, 9 years old with hydrocephalus condition, received a wheelchair that will allow her to start school. For the first time in many years, 58 year old Teleza Manuwelo has the safety and stability of an income. Bridget Khunga received the Orant Ulemu Scholarship, allowing her to study at Malawi University of Business and Applied Science.
While the numbers show the breadth of Orant’s progress, the people show the heart. Our community is our purpose and our reason.
May 2023 buoy our spirits as we continue to build stable communities. May the sun and rain keep us fed. May we serve each other with respect and compassion. May we be healthy. May we be safe. May we be loved. And may we love.
We are so grateful for everyone who walks this path beside us. Here is to another great year.
At Orant Charities, collaboration is one of the values we take seriously. We believe that there is no better way to learn, explore, make an impact, and utilize resources than collaborating with communities, individuals, and organizations. Last week, we took a major step in collaboration by signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Opulence Malawi, an organization making a difference in the lives of people in Traditional Authority Chakhaza, Dowa district. This partnership is a significant milestone for us, and we are excited to share what this means to us and the communities we serve. To learn more about what this partnership means to us and what we envision from it, read our latest blog article.
We are overjoyed to announce that 12 of our 29 students who sat for the Malawi School Certificate of Examinations have been selected to various universities! As we celebrate this milestone, we would like to share biographies of some of the students.
Early this week, we celebrated Esther Maupa’s graduation from Mwimba College of Agriculture! As promised, today we are sharing her full story of how she overcame challenges and achieved success! Read our latest blog article to get inspired by Esther’s journey!
