Malaria cases among school-age children in Ntcheu are expected to decline significantly by the end of 2028, following the introduction of the Future Guard: GCF-JNF Climate-Resilient Children’s Health Initiative, which will be implemented in the district by Save the Children in collaboration with the Ministry of Health through the National Malaria Control Program (NMCP).
The program, which focuses on malaria case management among school-going children, was officially introduced today during an entry meeting with the District Executive Committee (DEC), organized by Save the Children. The meeting brought together key stakeholders to discuss the program’s objectives, implementation approach, and expected impact on child health in the district.

The goal of the project is to contribute to the reduction of severe illness and mortality due to malaria and other climate-sensitive diseases, including cholera, diarrhoea, and acute malnutrition among under-five and school-going children.

The project supports government efforts to ensure that primary school children receive treatment within 24 hours of falling ill while at school. In Ntcheu District, the initiative will be implemented across 65 primary schools.

Through the FutureGuard project with support from the Neilson Foundation and aligned with the Climate Fund’s investment in climate-resilient health systems, we’re helping make sure children can get the Malaria care they need in six districts: Balaka, Ntcheu, Mangochi, Zomba, Phalombe, and Machinga.

A showcase of TiKUMA interventions was held at Chembera Primary School in Balaka, where staff from the U.S. Congress and CARE engaged with learners, teachers, and Catch-Up Club facilitators.

The delegation interacted with the Chembera Learners Council, a platform established to help learners raise and address school challenges affecting their education and rights. Collins, President of the Learners Council, explained that their motivation to be part of the council comes from a shared desire to make their school exemplary within the zone.

Teachers also demonstrated how Continuous Professional Development (CPD) sessions are strengthening inclusive teaching practices by equipping educators with skills in literacy, assessment, and learner support. Standard 1 teacher Christina Gutumulani explained how the training has improved her ability to develop inclusive lesson plans and support learners with diverse needs.

The visit concluded with a demonstration by the Nsinjiri Catch-Up Club (CuC), where learners and a facilitator showcased a remedial learning session. CuCs are designed to strengthen foundational skills using the Teaching at the Right Level (TaRL) approach, whereby struggling learners from Standards 3 and 4 are grouped according to their learning needs rather than their grade level. The sessions also incorporate games, fun and play to support learning.

One delegation representative - CARE Learning Tours Director, Kalei Talwar, commended the TIKUMA programme for its efforts in advancing education and was delighted by the enthusiasm and dedication of the children, teachers and catch-up clubs facilitators. She went on to wish the learners continued success in their education and applauded teachers for the great work they are doing.

Save the Children Malawi’s TiKUMA Programme is hosting staff from the United States Congress and CARE in Balaka District as part of preparatory visits for the upcoming U.S. Congressional Learning Tour to Malawi later in the year.

The Learning Tour is part of CARE’s broader advocacy work to build champions for foreign assistance within the U.S. Government by giving members of the U.S. Congress direct exposure to communities and development programmes on the ground.

As one of the organisations participating in the initiative, Save the Children is showcasing education interventions under the Tikwaniritse ndi Kuteteza Maufulu a Ana (TiKUMA) Programme — a five-year initiative funded by Norad that aims to ensure children enjoy their right to education and protection through strengthened community and government systems by 2028.

The visit began with a courtesy call to the Director of Education and Sports for Balaka District, Mr. Saulos Naman, who highlighted progress in learner retention and government support through School Improvement Grants, while noting challenges such as low transition rates to secondary school due to limited space.

Also present was the Head of Prosecutions for Balaka, Mr. Bodwin Msukwa, who shared how the mobile courts initiative under TiKUMA is improving access to justice and strengthening child protection.

TiKUMA Programme Team Leader, Mr. Kenneth Wala, later shared the programme overview with the delegation, and the activities they would experience during the visit, including Catch-Up Clubs, Learners Councils, and Continuous Professional Development sessions for teachers (CPDs).

The TiKUMA Programme is currently being implemented in 112 schools across Balaka and Mchinji, focusing on Education, Child Rights Governance, and Child Protection.

During the Market Expo at Manjawira Market, the youth under the Green Jobs for Adolescents and Youth Project showcased a wide range of products produced after receiving start-up packages from the project. The expo provided them with an opportunity to demonstrate not only the practical skills they gained, but also their ability to market and sell their products with confidence.

Through the project’s incubation process, the young entrepreneurs were equipped with technical and business development skills, mentorship, and start-up support to help grow sustainable businesses. Their exhibits reflected creativity, quality, and innovation — attracting many customers and resulting in most of the products being sold during the expo.

The atmosphere was made even more vibrant by local dance performances which spiced up the market expo and attracted many people. Beyond entertaining the crowd, the performances helped draw more customers to the exhibition stands, creating a lively environment that encouraged people to appreciate and buy the products showcased by the youth.

It was encouraging to witness how the young entrepreneurs confidently engaged customers, explained their products, and applied the marketing skills they have gained through the project. This demonstrates that beyond vocational and green skills training, the project has also builde their capacity in entrepreneurship, business management, and customer engagement — equipping them with skills that will help them compete in wider markets and build sustainable livelihoods within their communities.
