It’s Friday and we are ending the week on a high note! 🎉

We are proud to witness the pass-on of 31 goats in our FCAP Titukulane implementing village of Chibungo, TA Kalolo, Lilongwe. A total of 10 sub-groups (mailimana), each comprising 6 households, have received 4 goats each, while 17 goats remain in the communal sheds for future pass-on and sustainability.

We are also encouraged to witness great strides in gender equality, with women taking leadership roles in the groups and sharing project benefits equally.

Did you know?

School attendance rates in Malawi have risen from 77% to 92% in schools with feeding programs. These initiatives have also contributed to a 5% decline in absenteeism and a 2.9% reduction in dropout rates; a remarkable impact on children’s education and well-being.

Building on these positive outcomes, Shaping Our Future Foundation (SOFF) has begun extending its education interventions to the very communities we serve through our economic empowerment programs.

In partnership with Shrimad Rajchandra Love and Care, we are piloting our first School Feeding Programme at Chibunguo Primary School (TA Kalolo) and Mlare Primary School (TA Chiseka). Together, we are reaching 5,577 learners, each receiving an average of 100 grams of nutritious Likuni Phala per day.

These schools are located in rural communities where children often walk long distances to access education. Today, we are giving them one more reason to stay motivated, a warm meal that fuels their concentration, attendance, and hope for a brighter future.
