Malawian Girls_Education Needs

"IT TAKES A VILLAGE TO RAISE A CHILD"   -African Proverb

MoreThanAid is a Non-Profit NGO, founded in Calgary in March 2016. We are a Global Team that is focused on helping girls in Malawi, Africa to fund for their education. 

So far we have independently managed to support more than 13 girls to continue with their education. Most of the girls we support are motivated and passionate about being able to access education facilities in order to fulfill their future ambitions and goals. 
 
This is despite some of the life challenges they face such as: 
1. Limited basic daily needs such as nutritional needs, water, electricity and limited regular health care needs for women.
2. Girls are confronted from an earlier age than boys, with more housekeeping responsibilities and some with the responsibilities of having to contribute financially. 
3. Some girls are forced forced into earlier marriages, which consequently leads to early  pregnancy and/or marriage. 

The above challenges are not what the girls aspire to and only fall into these categories due to limited resources in most cases.

Their wishes are to continue being young girls and enjoying their childhood. To be able to finish school and have the opportunity to attend university, thereafter find suitable employment. 

We need your help 
As much as our ethos is to help girls fund for their own education with the support of Malawian Women, we also believe  in the African Proverb that, "it takes a village to raise a child."

As such we are keen to collaborate with individuals and businesses that would be interested in contributing to funding opportunities/projects which can help the girls to continue with their education to completion.
