Open Arms Malawi

Open Arms Malawi Building brighter futures for Malawi's vulnerable children.

Today, 1,890 babies will be born in Malawi. 320 will become orphans. 87 will die before their first birthday from malnutrition or illness. We’re the only organisation in southern Malawi able to feed, house and care for these babies and support their return to their communities. Every child has the right to life and we work to ensure that the children in our care have the chance to grow up with the love of a family and the security of a home.

Every day, around 300 children in Malawi become orphaned. Many have relatives to care for them, but poverty makes it difficult to provide the nutrition they need, especially for young babies. This threatens their health and survival, and increases the likelihood of them ending up in institutional care.

We believe every child belongs in a family — and poverty alone should never be the reason a child is separated from the people who love them.

By supporting Open Arms Malawi, you are helping these children grow up with the love and security of a family. Thank you.

Anthony and the Open Arms team make regular visits to families, delivering formula and porridge, but also to check in on each child’s progress. These visits help make sure children are thriving at home by doing important checks like weight, MUAC (upper‑arm circumference), and early developmental milestones. It's also a chance for the team to support guardians and provide advice.

Strong, healthy children grow best at home, surrounded by their families and communities — and these monthly check‑ins help make that possible.
