Mission Focus for April 2024 - Aquaid Lifeline
The mission of the charity is to give hope and opportunity to the orphans and vulnerable children under our umbrella of care. They have been operating in Malawi since 1999 when we set up the first children’s centre at Namisu, Southern Malawi. The charity has grown since then and now has 12 children’s centres, including the Dawn Centre, a specialist home for children with varying disabilities. In addition we have built 4 schools and 3 health clinics helping rural communities who previously had little access to either education or basic medical care.
The Lifeline Fund provides care and education to over 3,000 beautiful children. The care includes providing breakfast before school as well as a hot and nutritious lunch when school has finished. The charity pays school fees as well as vocational training and college fees for students after they complete their secondary school education. The aim is always to provide them with the education and skill-set to enable them to become completely self-sufficient when the time comes for them to leave.
Aquaid is very proud to have sponsored students to become teachers, nurses, journalists, carpenters, mechanics and tailors to name but a few. Our first doctor is about to graduate too!
Sadly the need and sheer number of people living in extreme poverty in Malawi is huge and, in order to help those simply unable to help themselves, we run infant rescue programs as well as providing maize relief to elderly and disabled people who, without our assistance, simply would not manage to survive.
