Impact Story
We exist to uplift and empower vulnerable communities especially women and girls through economic support, education, and improved access to basic needs.
In Karonga District, we have proudly empowered 68 women living with HIV & AIDS by providing soft loans to help them start small businesses of their choice. Alongside financial support, we’ve also offered practical training in business management, helping these women gain independence, dignity, and a sense of purpose.
Our work goes beyond economic empowerment. We are deeply committed to promoting health, hygiene, and education for young people. At Mwenelondo School, we constructed a toilet facility to improve sanitation and ensure a healthier learning environment for students. Additionally, we donated reusable sanitary pads to schoolgirls, helping them manage menstruation with dignity and stay in school without disruption.
Each of these initiatives reflects our belief in creating sustainable change by giving people the tools, knowledge, and confidence they need to transform their own lives.
