Orant Charities began was started in 2006 by two friends in Texas, USA that wanted to make a difference in the world. After a year of traveling and researching where they could have the largest impact, they decided to dedicate all their efforts towards central Malawi.
What began as humble medical missions with volunteer doctors soon started to expand. Orant began drilling water wells, sponsoring students, and getting more involved in local life. They eventually established a permanent presence in Malawi in 2012.
In 2014, Orant purchased a clinic previously run by another NGO and under government control at the time. Orant then took this opportunity to expand operations significantly and to create Orant Charities Africa with the help of various Malawian stakeholders. Orant Charities Africa would take over the campus and run things locally, while building strong ties with the local communities and significantly expanding operations.
