World Tours
Every day at 10 or 11 am and 7 pm Central Time, we will host world tours. Stop in around this time to walk with a guide through Orant’s world. The guide will make your trip all the more meaningful. They’ll help with any technical difficulties, answer all questions, and give a personal overview of both Malawi’s virtual world and its real one.

We have four 360 immersive videos in our world. Each gives you a sneak peek into the day-to-day of our programs. In one, hear from sponsored students. In another, walk with female entrepreneurs through their business routines. In another, see our Water & Sanitation program collaborate with local leaders to ensure well water is clean. Lastly, travel with our Mobile Outreach Clinic to care for the sick in a rural village. Each 360 video lives in our world. They are accessible to view at any time. Explore at your leisure.
