More Than a Meal: Feeding Hope, Fueling Dreams

For many of our students at Tadala abc Primary School, even two meals a day is a distant dream. Yet, every week, they show up ready to learn, play, and grow through our fun and engaging after-school programs.

That’s why we provide lunch meals two times each week to 403 students, not just to nourish their bodies, but to give them the energy to participate, the confidence to dream, and hope for a brighter tomorrow.

Because sometimes, a plate of food is more than a meal. It’s a reminder to a child that we care about their well-being and their future matters. More Than a Meal: Feeding Hope, Fueling Dreams

Beyond the Final Whistle, Champions Are Made!

60 young footballers, three categories, and one shared dream! The Football Bonanza under MATCH Foundation’s Play and Stay Sports Program brought talent, teamwork, and excitement to Tadala abc Primary School, following a sports camp led by UK volunteers Josh and Louis.

We’re nurturing more than football talent, we’re building confidence, creating opportunities, and empowering both boys and girls to shine.

One team. One mission. Greater impact.

On 11 September, MATCH Foundation brought together its staff members from Head Office and Tadala abc Primary School for a day of learning, reflection, collaboration, and connection. We worked together to redefine our school and organisation culture, students' experiences, and how we will continue solidifying our community-based school approach.

We also celebrated a major milestone: our Standard 8 teachers were recognised for achieving Tadala abc’s first-ever 100% pass rate in the 2026 PLSCE examinations!

This achievement is a powerful testament to what a return on investment (ROI) can prove. The teachers' dedication, teamwork, and belief in every learner made this possible.

As we move forward, we remain committed to learning together, working better together, and creating greater impact for children and communities.

They say, "All work, no play makes John a dull boy."

We took some time away from our usual work routines for a 3-day team-building retreat in Salima, Kambiri Beach Resort to pause, reflect, and look ahead; we reconnected on a personal level, celebrated how far we have come as a team, and have some fun along the way.

This retreat was more than just about the games. It was about asking ourselves the questions that matter: What have we achieved? Where have we fallen short? And, most importantly, what can we do differently to create greater impact?

We celebrated the milestones, we had honest conversations about the challenges, and listened to different perspectives on how we can strengthen our team and the work we do for the children, young people, and communities we serve.

As we return to our usual routines, we carry with us renewed energy, stronger connections, and a shared commitment to do better, reach further, and create lasting change.
And together, we’re ready for what’s next.

Today, we are proud to be part of the National Youth Summit 2026, taking place at the Bingu International Convention Centre in Lilongwe under the theme: “Accelerating Progress: Reflecting on Impact, Expanding Prospects for Youth Development in Malawi.”

The Summit is more than a gathering, it is a platform for young people to reflect, connect, influence decisions and shape the future of Malawi. It brings together young people, policymakers, development partners, civil society and other stakeholders to celebrate progress, identify gaps and unlock new opportunities for meaningful youth participation and development.

As MATCH Foundation, we are excited to contribute to conversations that advance youth leadership, education, skills development, wellbeing, sports and opportunities for young people to thrive.

Together, we can turn lessons into action, expand opportunities and accelerate progress towards a Malawi where every young person has the confidence, skills and opportunities to reach their full potential.

The future is youth. The progress is now. Let’s accelerate it together!

Our Programs Coordinator and Resource Mobilisation Officer Edward Luwanja is attending the first-ever 2026 National Youth Symposium on Public Debt taking place from August 5th to 6th at Crossroads Hotel in Lilongwe under the theme "Reimagining Youth Engagement, Debt Transparency & Accountability." The two-day event has brought together young leaders, policymakers, and civil society partners to discuss national budget formulation, public debt transparency, and youth inclusion in economic governance. It highlights the critical message that the nation's financial future and development cannot be decided without active youth participation.
