Thank you to everyone who believes in our dream. The journey continues, and our next step will be announced soon.

We are thrilled to announce that as of January 6th, 2025, the dream of opening Likuchi Primary School has become a reality! This journey, which began in 2013, has now borne fruits that will benefit generations in Likuchi.

The Banonie Mwale Foundation (BM.FOUNDATION) extends its heartfelt gratitude to the Malawi government for its invaluable cooperation in making this vision come to life. We are also profoundly thankful to Peggy and the USA team, Jenny Naylor and the UK team, and all the incredible individuals who contributed their time, resources, and unwavering support to this noble cause.

This is not just an achievement—it is a testament to the power of connection and shared purpose. The dream is far from over; it continues to inspire and shape the future of Likuchi. Together, we can achieve even greater heights.

Let us celebrate this milestone and look forward to the brighter days ahead for the children of Likuchi!

As we eagerly anticipate the official opening of Likuchi Primary School on January 4, 2025, we are delighted to announce a significant development. The school, constructed by the BM Foundation, has garnered the attention and support of the Government of Malawi. In response, the government has committed to adding another classroom block, bringing the total to three blocks, each comprising two classrooms. This will enable the school to offer classes from Grade 1 to Grade 6, leaving only one additional block required to complete the institution as a full primary school.

We are confident that this collaboration will greatly enhance the educational opportunities for the Likuchi community, fostering growth and development. We remain optimistic about achieving our goal of transforming Likuchi Primary School into a fully-fledged primary institution in the near future Banonie Mwale Foundation The Maravi Heritage Foundation - MHF Ministry of Education - Malawi Malawi News

Dear Team BMF,

I am delighted to share some incredible news with you. After enduring a long journey of dedication and effort through the Banonie Mwale Foundation, the Government of Malawi, specifically the Nkhota-Kota District Council's Education Department under the leadership of the Education CEO and DEMO, has approved the opening of a new primary school in Likuchi Village—a community that has been without a school for generations.

The school is scheduled to open on 4th January 2025, with three teachers appointed as part of the first phase. The government has also provided teachers’ textbooks to facilitate the school’s operations. They have committed to fully managing the school, while our role will focus on supporting additional initiatives such as constructing two extra classroom blocks and an office, should the need arise.

I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has contributed to this milestone. Your support has been invaluable, and I look forward to your continued assistance as we move forward in this transformative journey.

Warm regards,
Banonie Olad Mwale

Seven years ago, I met a young boy with a deep passion and aspiration to become an artist. I played a small role in helping to bring his talent to light, but the rest is for you to witness and appreciate. Let us strive to live a life that leaves a legacy.

Recently, there has been progress in our Likuchi community with the installation of electricity poles. We are grateful that the government has provided one pole for our school. This would have cost us a significant amount of money if we had done it ourselves. We are thankful for this development.
