Ntcheu
The Ntcheu location is located among the Ngoni people. The Ngoni are traditionally known to be vicious warriors that migrated from South Africa. If anybody has ever taken a trip from the central region to the southern region of Malawi, chances are they know Ntcheu and the Ngoni people. Ntcheu has some of the country’s entrepreneurs and traders in things like tomatoes, cabbage, and fruits in part due to the fertility of their land [They were worries, remember?].
We love Ntcheu and believe that the entrepreneurial nature of the people may be an example that most districts can emulate.
Location: 2 hours South of Lilongwe on the way to Blantyre.
Children’s Centers Program Rationale:
In Malawi the vast majority of the population lives scattered in many rural villages, while about 15% live in cities. The latter are privileged to have access to quality education, jobs, electricity, telephones, food, and transportation. Not only do most villagers lack these advantages, they also struggle to meet their daily needs in regard to food and water. Needless to say, the cycle of poverty in these villages has repeated itself for generations.
Our Vision:
Our children centers provide opportunities for urban youth to invest in the lives of village children by providing them with training and resources that they would otherwise not be able to have.
Operating Objectives:
Academic development, health and hygiene, sports and recreation, and spiritual development.
