#GIFTOFTHEGIVERS 💚Access to clean and safe water remains a daily struggle for many communities in Malawi. For some, water is not a basic right—it’s a distant privilege.To help bridge this gap, Gift of the Givers Foundation has been conducting geophysical surveys in areas completely locked out from accessing clean and safe water. This scientific process uses resistivity to identify the likelihood of underground water sources—the lower the resistivity, the higher the chance of successful drilling.Through our ongoing Water Provision Project, eight promising points have been identified for possible drilling in Machinga and Balaka districts. In Machinga, the surveys led us to Matchepa Village, Helbert Village, and Mosiya Village under Traditional Authority Nkoola, as well as Nyanje Village under Traditional Authority Liwonde.The team also proceeded to Balaka District, where they identified two sites in Kambadi Village and Chibwana Village under Traditional Authority Nsamala. Further assessments in the district brought two more sites to light in Mbonani Village and Ngongomwa Village under Traditional Authority Chanthunya. This brings the total to eight villages across the two districts that may soon benefit from clean, safe water sources.Once all necessary protocols and procedures are fulfilled, drilling is expected to begin. With each borehole, we bring more than just water—we bring hope, health, and a better future.Water is life, and we are committed to making it accessible to all.To contribute towards our interventions visit: : http://www.giftofthegivers.org/make-a-difference : 0800 786 911 #GiftoftheGivers #MakeADifference #ForTheGreaterGood #WaterProvision #Boreholes #Malawi
#GIFTOFTHEGIVERS 💚Gift of the Givers team participated in a panel #discussion at the #screening of the Al Jazeera #Documentary 🇵🇸‘Under the Rubble’🇵🇸, hosted by Healthcare Workers For Palestine – South Africa #HW4P and University of KwaZulu-Natal #UKZN College of Health Sciences. The film powerfully documents the devastating conditions faced by the healthcare workers at Kamal Adwan Hospital in 🇵🇸 Gaza. It sheds light on the denial of basic medical resources, the relentless bombing of medical facilities, and the targeted attacks on healthcare professionals - painting a stark picture of a healthcare system under siege.

#GIFTOFTHEGIVERS 💚Gift of the Givers remains dedicated to restoring health and hope for patients in need through our ongoing nutritional support to Burns Unit, Beit Cure, MAP, and Kachere hospitals.At the start of this year, during our monthly delivery of high-energy food items, we met 10-year-old Paul Losani from Chimbaza Village in Chikwawa. Paul had suffered severe burns from an open flame back home. He was in so much pain that he couldn’t even stand upright. His body, weak and fragile, urgently needed nutritious meals to aid his recovery.Four months later, we returned to the Burns Unit—and there was Paul, full of strength, energy, and smiles. His transformation was nothing short of inspiring!Matron Emmie Viyuyi of the Burns Unit shared her heartfelt appreciation: “We are very grateful for your support. Seeing Paul’s health now shows how truly important proper nutrition is for our patients. May God bless you.”Our quarterly nutritional support includes Sibusiso food supplement, Likuni Phala, eggs, cooking oil, milk, soya pieces, and sugar—simple yet powerful tools in helping children like Paul regain their strength and dignity.Together we can make a difference: 🌐 : http://www.giftofthegivers.org/make-a-difference 📞 : +265 888 23 40 00 #GiftoftheGivers #MakeADifference #ForTheGreaterGood #HealthCare #NutritionSupport #Malawi
#GIFTOFTHEGIVERS 💚In a powerful step toward empowering vulnerable households, Gift of the Givers, in partnership with One Nation (UK), has successfully wrapped up a three-week livestock training in Group Village Gomani, Traditional Authority Kunthembwe in Blantyre.The training, which marks the beginning of a life-changing journey for many, equipped 60 selected beneficiaries with essential knowledge in livestock management, construction of animal housing, and disease control and prevention. These skills are vital as the community prepares to receive goats—each beneficiary will be given four nanny goats, while a few farmers will receive Boer bucks to share. Through a pass-on model, the project will continue to benefit more households in the coming months.During her visit, Malawi Country Director Sherifa Mia expressed satisfaction with the commitment shown by the community and reaffirmed Gift of the Givers’ dedication to providing further support across agriculture, health, water, and sanitation. She, however, urged the farmers to maintain transparency and dedication, citing lessons from other areas. “We have had similar projects in other areas like Machinga, and the outcomes were promising despite the behaviour of the farmers, hence I ask you Gomani people to work hard and see the fruits of this project for yourself,” she said.The impact of this initiative is already being felt. Committee Chairperson Anesi Govati highlighted how transformative this support will be, especially for struggling families. “We are grateful for the continuous support, including the livestock drugs, and we’re committed to making this project a success. We’re hopeful for real change in our lives.”To contribute towards our interventions visit: 🌐 : http://www.giftofthegivers.org/make-a-difference 📞 : +265 888 23 40 00 #GiftoftheGivers #MakeADifference #ForTheGreaterGood #HungerAlleviation #AgriculturalSupport #Malawi
#GIFTOFTHEGIVERS 💚In the remote villages of Group Village Undi, T/A Lundu, Blantyre District, long distances and lack of electricity have made access to education a daily struggle for many students. Walking over 10 kilometers roundtrip just to attend school, many learners arrived late, exhausted—and some even faced punishments despite their determination to learn.But this week, smiles returned and burdens were eased.Gift of the Givers Foundation, in partnership with One Nation (UK), distributed 44 bicycles and solar-powered lights to 44 secondary school learners (22 girls and 22 boys) from four community day secondary schools. These simple yet life-changing tools are now helping students get to school on time and study at night.Shabil Chimasula, 20, a student at Lirangwe CDSS and a recipient of a bicycle in the first phase of the distribution, shared his experience:“I am no longer late for or missing classes, which has helped me to improve my academic performance. I can even carry my younger sibling who is also in Form One. Thank you for the support.”Parents and community leaders were deeply moved by the initiative, including TA Lundu, Primary Education Advisors, and all the stakeholders and urged Gift of the Givers to continue their support, seeing this as a crucial first step in reaching many more vulnerable learners who are at risk of dropping out of school due to the long distances, they have to walk daily to get a quality education.“This initiative will inspire younger children in primary schools to aim for secondary education after seeing their peers succeed and receive such support.” said GVH Undi.Together we can make a difference: 🌐 : http://www.giftofthegivers.org/make-a-difference 📞 : +265 888 23 40 00 #GiftoftheGivers #MakeADifference #ForTheGreaterGood #Education #EducationalSupport #Malawi
#GIFTOFTHEGIVERS 💚“Now my grandchildren sleep with full stomachs.” – Marrium Mzuzo, 70As inflation continues to affect Malawi, many families—especially in rural and urban parts of Blantyre—are finding it increasingly difficult to afford basic food. Soaring prices of maize and other essentials are forcing many to go to bed hungry.One of those affected is Marrium Mzuzo, a 70-year-old grandmother from Machinjiri, who lives with her 7 grandchildren. Her only source of income is selling sand—a tough and unreliable business that hardly meets her family's daily food needs.But through the Gift of the Givers Zakat initiative, Marrium now receives a monthly food pack that helps her sustain her family.“I am proud of the Zakat program. Before, we would go to bed hungry. Now, my family lives a happy life because we have food to eat.”This week, our May distribution has commenced in Blantyre, Zomba, and Machinga, continuing our mission to reach families facing similar hardships as Marrium. Each pack includes cream of maize, tinned fish, soya pieces, salt, cooking oil, and soap—essentials that are now out of reach for many.Together, we can make a difference: 🌐 : http://www.giftofthegivers.org/make-a-difference 📞 : +265 888 23 40 00 #GiftoftheGivers #MakeADifference #ForTheGreaterGood #HungerAlleviation #FoodParcels #Malawi
