Our Partnership with Zoe Empowers

Malawi is one of the most economically challenged countries in the world, with 50.7% of the population living below the poverty line and 25% living in extreme poverty.  In Doya District, these numbers are event higher.  Large scale flooding in 2015 followed by a major drought in 2016 compounded food insecurity.  As a result, 37% of children under age five experience growth stunting due to malnutrition.  Children who are trapped in a cycle of poverty are unable to meet their basic needs for food, shelter, education, health, income generation, and safety. 

We’re partnering with Zoe Empowers to support 600 Malawian orphans and vulnerable children.  This is the second year of a 3-year comprehensive, youth led program that empowers vulnerable children to pull themselves permanently out of extreme poverty with a 95% rate of success.  This year the children are receiving training and resources that grew their self-sufficiency in 8 key areas.
