Salima
Salima is traditionally a Moslem dominated district which makes is a very compelling place for us to work in. Our desire in this pursuit is a representation of our movement’s posture towards people. We mean it when we say we will work with anyone and everyone despite their race, gender, tribal or religious background. The bonds that connect us are stronger than ones that separate us. Salima is also a district right by one of the world’s most beautiful lakes, Lake Malawi.
Location: 1 hour east of the capital, Lilongwe, right by Lake Malawi.
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.
