According to Classrooms for Malawi (2024), in 1994, Primary School education was made free in Malawi, however numerous obstacles persist. Today, approximately 5.3 million learners are currently enrolled marking a 7.2 percent increment from the previous year, highlighting the demand for primary education. Of these students, 49 percent are male, and 51 percent are female. However, only 35 percent of children complete primary school, revealing deep systemic issues. Understanding these root causes is essential to effectively address the barriers impeding the delivery of quality education in Malawi. <br /><br />Football For Development (FFD) in Primary Schools is a concept that will be used to promote social, emotional, and physical development among primary school children. We believe this will help learners develop the love for school, here are key areas:<br /><br />a) Physical development: Promoting physical activity, motor skills, and overall health through football-based activities.<br /><br />b) Social development: Developing essential social skills such as teamwork, communication, and cooperation.<br /><br />c) Emotional development: Fostering emotional intelligence, self-awareness, and self-regulation.<br /><br />d) Cognitive development: Enhancing problem-solving, critical thinking, and decision-making skills.<br /><br />Benefits of football for development in primary schools<br />a) Improved physical health: Encouraging regular physical activity and promoting healthy lifestyles.<br /><br />b) Enhanced social skills: Developing essential social skills that can benefit children in all areas of life.<br /><br />c) Increased confidence: Boosting children's confidence and self-esteem through football-based activities.<br /><br />d) Positive values: Instilling positive values such as respect, fair play, and sportsmanship.<br /><br />Implementation of Football For Development in primary schools (FFD)<br />a) Trained coaches: Utilizing trained coaches who can deliver high-quality football programmes.<br />

Across underserved communities in Nigeria and Uganda, millions of children and young people grow up without consistent access to education, books, digital tools, or safe learning spaces. Poverty, displacement, insecurity, and weak infrastructure often mean that school is irregular—or entirely out of reach. Yet these communities are rich in potential: curious children and resilient youths who only need access and opportunity to thrive.<br /><br />Giddy2School exists to bridge this gap. Founded to reduce school dropouts and expand access to quality learning, Giddy2School works with children, youths, and community educators to create inclusive pathways<br /><br />To sustain and scale our work, Giddy2School relies on goodwill donations and in-kind support that directly power learning on the ground. Through Recovere, we are seeking support for the following priority needs:<br /><br />1. 300 Books for Our Literacy Clubs<br />Fiction, non-fiction, biographies, and age-appropriate learning materials<br />These books will support Giddy2School Literacy Clubs across Nigeria and Uganda, nurturing reading culture, imagination, and critical thinking.<br /><br />2. 50 Computers, 100 Tablets & Digital Learning Devices<br />Laptops, MacBooks, desktop computers, and tablets for learning<br />Tablets are especially valuable for younger learners and low-literacy environments, enabling interactive learning, digital reading, and AI-assisted education in a simple, user-friendly format.<br /><br />3. 1-Movable IT Hub / Community Learning Container<br />A mobile IT hub or container that can function as a pop-up digital learning and training center. This will allow us to take technology-enabled education directly into slums, informal settlements, and hard-to-reach communities.<br /><br />4. Connectivity & Operational Support<br />A Starlink device to ensure reliable internet access in low-connectivity areas. Reliable connectivity is essential for digital skills training, AI-assisted learning, and access to global educational resources.<br /><br />Visit www.giddy2school.org to learn more.

In Malawi, over 70% of children live in poverty. There are very few opportunities for skills training or employment for the youth either. By supporting Urunji Child-Care Trust with bicycles, you help these children (especially girls) with mobility to and from school.

In the dry villages of Makueni County, women wake up each day knowing that water will determine whether their families eat or go hungry. Through the Proverbs 31 Project by Mzizi Empowerment Initiative, we work with women who have land, strength, and determination but live in constant uncertainty because water is scarce.<br /><br />During prolonged droughts, women walk long distances to collect unsafe water, often leaving their children behind and their farms unattended. Crops fail not because they lack knowledge or effort, but because they cannot store water when it rains.<br /><br />One woman shared, “When the rains come, the water disappears before we can use it. If I had a tank, I could grow food for my children and stop depending on help.”<br /><br />A simple water tank can change everything; providing clean water, enabling small-scale farming, improving nutrition, and restoring dignity. For these women, a water tank is not just storage; it is hope, resilience, and the chance to provide for their families even in the face of drought.

In Malawi, over 65% of children do not complete primary education a situation that affects development. Some of the causes are lack of scholarly items, clothing, food, marriage breaks, orphanage and more.<br /><br />Therefore, we would like to support them with item like text books, clothes, food items which would really help them to be able to go to school without fail.<br /><br />This would improve their performance in class thereby get to higher classes.

It's will help our youth to upgrade their professionals, skills and knowledge

At Adaklu Ahunda Kpodzi Basic School, Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is currently a 'ghost' subject. It is taught by drawing pictures of computers and keyboards on a blackboard. There are 223 pupils who can memorize the parts of a mouse but have never clicked one. They are expected to pass national exams on technology they have never seen, let alone touched.<br /><br />Why should rural children be ignored while the rest of the world uses technology as a basic tool for survival? At Happy Daffodils, we believe that THEORY IS NOT ENOUGH.<br /><br />Our flagship project, 'Operation: Theory Is Not Enough,' is our mission to build this school’s first-ever functional computer lab. We are turning chalk drawings into real-world skills, ensuring these bright children are not left behind in the digital revolution. Our goal is to launch this lab in January 2026, but we cannot do it alone.
