About Malawi
A peaceful and politically stable country, Malawi is also one of the poorest countries in the world. Malawians daily problems are a combination of poverty, drought, flooding and a lack of resources. Malawi is home to approximately 17.3 million people and 67% of the population is under the age of 25. The majority depend on subsistence agriculture.
Primary School is Free
In 1994 the Malawi Government made Primary School Education free. Initially student numbers grew but eventually tailed off with numbers dropping. Around 30% of primary school age children were not attending school despite the fact it was free.
The need to grow food, find food, do casual work for payment, care for parents and younger siblings outweigh reasons for attending school. Even when they do attend many children found it difficult to concentrate because of hunger or illness.
The overwhelming number of children dropping out of schools are girls.Someone has to stay home while parents are looking for money/food. Early marriage is another challenge.
Natural Disasters
At the beginning of 2015 Malawi was hit by some of the worst floods in memory which has wreaked havoc on many subsistence farmers with crops destroyed, villages obliterated, homes swept away and livestock killed.
Already almost 5 in every 10 children in Malawi were stunted. Already too many children in Malawi were not surviving to see their 5th birthday.
Seibo began school feeding as a response.
Your help is both needed and appreciated.
