Malawi children ive in a country often afflicted by severe famines caused by droughts with eight serious episodes in the last 36 years affecting millions leaving them without proper food supplies. Only a third of children in Malawi have access to safe water
making childhood disease common and HIV is still rampant despite
efforts by the democratic government to address the issue, with
nearly one third of all mothers in Malawi passing the virus onto
their children. In fact, one out of every ten children in Malawi
is an AIDS orphan.
Many children spurn education in a desperate attempt to bring food to
the table however child sponsor programmes are beginning to turn this around
by attracting children into the classroom in exchange for at least one square
meal a day. Other child sponsor programs in Malawi address
child labour in a country where just under one in three works; care of orphans
and abandoned children; access to health, education and HIV awareness;
establishing programs to minimise the impact of disasters and addressing food
insecurity. You can help when you sponsor a
child in Malawi.
