LSU helps communities in Malawi become self-sufficient through sustainable development. Working alongside Africa Vision and Malawi Projects.

Love Support Unite (LSU) empowers people to become self-sufficient, with a leg-up rather than a hand-out. Community-based projects that integrate education, enterprise, nutrition, and health, lift communities out of the cycle of poverty into a cycle of sustainability. LSU is a fundraising organization that raises money for sustainable development delivered through partners Africa Vision in Malawi. Supporting medical outreach, adult literacy, sustainable farming, early childhood development and vulnerable people. Our operational costs for these projects are funded largely through The Malawi Projects. LSU also helps provide funding for Mphatso Children's charity to provide the formula for babies in desperate need of help. It provides emergency relief when required for emergencies such COVID 19, and Cholera outbreak. LSU raises valuable funds though, Love Specs its company selling recycled plastic and paper sunglasses turning lights into rainbow hearts with the message 'change your perception, change the world'

For families living on less than £1 a day, one bad harvest can mean the difference between eating and not.

The Sustainable Family Farms programme gives families everything they need to farm their own land, feed their own families, and build their own futures - for good. And it only costs £500 per family.

Each family receives inputs to farm one hectare, alongside two years of hands-on training in agriculture, nutrition, business and literacy. Inputs are repaid interest-free over two years and reinvested directly into the next family, creating a self-sustaining cycle that doesn't need us to keep it going.

Let's talk about Malaria.

Swipe to understand why Malaria is still one of Malawi's major problems - and what it actually takes to change it.

Every month, our medical outreach tests and treats over 2,000 people in communities where a clinic is simply out of reach. 💛 We know this is a huge conversation, and the problem as so many elements. But our ethos and mentality has always been, if we can - we will. And that's exactly why we and our partners The Malawi Projects work so hard to keep this programme alive.

Part two coming soon.

What our feeding programmes actually look like - captured and edited by the amazing Craig last year whilst our Co-Founder, Alice, was out in Malawi.

At LSU, we work with the local community and our sister charity Unite Support Malawi to implement the programmes - and The Malawi Projects make it all possible with funding.

It's so easy to forget that a programme which supports over 2,000 a month has so many people running the show behind the scenes. It's not just doctors, programme mangers, funders or community - it's also the people collecting the data, logging new patients, cross-checking patient information and all the rest - who make sure that every service delivered is properly tracked so we can keep improving how we support communities. 🚑

Not to mention that this project would be impossible without the incredible donation of an ambulance by Rakesh Trust, the funding support and the pick-up ambulance donated by The Malawi Projects , or the amazing team of Unite Support Malawi for delivering this programme in Malawi. ❤️

Our medical outreach team do SO much, it's insane. They spend the entire day with the community they're serving - offering health checkups, medication and referrals. But they don't stop there. They also run workshops, teaching vital skills and information on how to prevent illness, and what to do if someone does fall sick.

Why go to all that effort? Because we don't believe in quick fixes. Treating people is fundamental, but if we want communities to have real autonomy, and to help break the cycle of poverty within the health sphere, education is just as important as the treatment itself.

These programmes are only possible because of ordinary people giving so generously to us, and to our incredible partners The Malawi Projects and Unite Support Malawi 💗

'Nsunga Moyo' means the life-saver cycle in Chichewa (the official language of Malawi).

It's a concept that changes everything. It means building systems that save lives and end the need for saving. Giving people autonomy, self-reliance, and dignity over dependency.

For decades, top-down aid has followed the same pattern: ship the grain, hand it out, move on. And for decades, it hasn't ended poverty.

Here's what the data tells us:

📌 Malawi is one of the most aid-dependent economies in sub-Saharan Africa. Foreign aid has at times made up 40% of the national budget and close to a fifth of GNI (World Bank)
📌 Despite billions in aid over 30 years, over 70% of Malawians still live below the international poverty line (World Bank, 2023)
📌 Studies show that locally-led development programmes are significantly more effective at creating lasting change than top-down aid models (OECD, 2022)

Our Sustainable Family Farms programme is Nsunga Moyo in practice. Instead of a one-off handout, families receive training and a starter loan - enough to grow their own crops, feed their household first, and sell the surplus at local markets. That income repays the loan and funds next season, so the cycle keeps going without another delivery truck.

The solution isn't to stop caring. It's to care differently. Putting money and trust into locally-led organisations that give communities agency, training, and tools to break the cycle for good.

Malaria remains one of Malawi's biggest health burdens, responsible for around a quarter of all deaths in the country. Cases have been falling - down from 2.4 million in the first half of 2025 to 1.8 million in the same period this year - but it's still endemic across every district, and its children under five and pregnant women who are most at risk.

That's why our incredible team doing medical outreach provides fast, accurate testing to everyone who wants one. Once detected, people are given medication on the spot to prevent the Malaria from spreading, and can be the difference between life and death.

It's because of people like you who support us, and our amazing partners The Malawi Projects and Unite Support Malawi that things like this are possible!!

After that blazing summer, and with the rain now coming, we think it's about the right time to get you all to buy a super cool hoodie that does so much good in Malawi.

Here's Alice and her beautiful daughter Lil doing a A* job at modelling them.

Basically, we think they're really cool - and if you buy one, it won't just look amazing and feel amazing on you (because its organic, top-grade cotton) - it will also support LSU.

We only have a few left!! So grab em' while you can 💗
