Rebuild hope for children in Dowa

11/07/2025

Our time in Africa has come to an end. It was truly an incredible experience. We wanted to extend a huge thank you to everyone who has supported our work out here. Both through donations and sharing of our message. We wouldn't have been able to achieve everything we have without all of your help. We can all be happy knowing that children of Dowa have solid roofs over their heads and a new special place to learn and develop in.

Improving preschool education 🎓✨

A key part of our mission is to support preschool caregivers with hands-on teaching materials that make learning fun and effective for the little ones 👶📚

Last week, we hosted a creative workshop with the amazing teacher students at DAPP-Dowa Teacher Training College 🏫🎉

It was a day full of smiles and teamwork 💪🎨

We made:
🔤 Alphabet posters
🕒 Visual timetables
🧸 Handmade rag dolls

These simple tools will bring structure, joy and engagement into the classroom for thousands 😮of kids 🌈👦👧

We’ve started building in Bzyazi! 🧱

Bzyazi is one of only two communities in our area without a preschool. Right now, the 75 children here are using the village church as a classroom, far from ideal. That’s why we’re building them a proper learning space.

The community is incredibly engaged, so much so that the village chief himself is leading the construction as building master. We’re also fortunate to have the support of a local Member of Parliament, who is donating bricks for the project.

We still need some help to make it all happen. If you’re able to support, even a small contribution makes a real difference. You can donate here:

Thank you! 🙏

Building Processes coming along nicely at Tsakalabwalo,

The village has successfully fitted a new roof with a glistening skylight to brighten up the class room. Along with new windows and a door to keep the room safe from the elements.

Only the final work of cleaning the floor and fitting it out ready to get to teaching the kids.

Who knew a few bits of fabric and some creativity could bring so much joy? 😆✨ Our rag doll crew is growing,(these are teacher students from DNS Dowa) and so are our skills! 🧵🎨 Big laughs, big fun, and maybe a few dolls that need a little… extra love! 😂

Exciting progress at M’gwandali! 🏠✨

We’ve put a new roof on a space that will soon be filled with laughter, learning, and endless memories. This is just the beginning of something beautiful for the children and community. A huge thank you to everyone who donated, you’ve helped turn this dream into a reality! 🙏🌟

Your generosity is shaping a brighter future, one brick at a time. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to build spaces that will inspire and empower the next generation!

🏗️ Raising the Roof – One Beam at a Time! 🌟
Progress is in motion at M’gwandali Preschool! The team measured, cut, and assembled the wooden beams that will support the new roof. 🔨 Each step brings us closer to a safe, secure space for more than 100 little learners eager to come to school—rain or shine. 🌦
We’re extending the walls with brickwork to secure the trusses, preparing for the installation of galvanized sheets tomorrow. The final push to complete the roof is just around the corner!
💛 Every bit of support counts! Whether you’ve donated, shared our mission, or cheered us on, you’re part of this journey. Thank you all for your support, let’s keep building together! 🙏🏾🙏🏾
📸 Stay tuned for more updates—this preschool is transforming before our eyes! 👀

Let the building begin!

It was a bit of a slow start today, due to a meeting in another village (you will get more details later on) Finally things started to happen! 🔨 Wood beams were measured and cut to make the roof trusses. All in all, it was a very productive first day at M’gwandali.

🌱 Building Brighter Futures – One Roof at a Time! 🏡

We’re thrilled to start our next project—building a roof for a preschool that serves approximately 80 children! 🎉

Right now, these little learners face big challenges. By putting a roof over their heads, we’re taking the first step in making this preschool a safe, functional learning space. Once the school is watertight, the community can begin adding the essentials—creating a place where children can truly thrive.

We need your help! Every donation, big or small, makes a difference. If you can contribute, please do—your support means the world to these children.

🙏 Thank you to everyone who has already given so generously. Together, we’re building more than just a school—we’re building a future. 💛

Welcome, Gracie! 🎉

We are thrilled to welcome a new team member to our dynamic Dowa team! Gracie joins us with extensive social media experience, and we’re excited to have her on board. Previously, she was part of a team in Mzimba (Northern part of Malawi) that disbanded at the end of February, and now, she’s bringing her energy, creativity, and expertise to us.

We know she’ll add a fun and lively spark to our team, and we can't wait to work together!

Welcome to the team, Gracie! 🚀✨
