A Message from Anna Msowoya Keys

Thank you for visiting our website to learn more about Maloto and the pressing issues facing Malawians. In 2003, I returned home for my sister’s funeral. I was surprised by the number of children at the funeral. When I asked why, I was told that so many children had lost their parents to AIDS and were struggling to survive in their communities. These children came to funerals with hopes of getting some food. It made me sad, because when I was growing up children never attended funerals. I thought this should not be happening, and I felt compelled to do something. I spoke with the women in the community. We formed the Kwithu Women’s Group. The Kwithu Women’s Group now manages the Kwithu Recreation Center, where we provide meals to more than 120 orphans and offer after school learning and recreation activities.

These activities are very important. But much more is needed. Malawi’s brightest children need access to quality education in order to be equipped to become tomorrow’s capable leaders. This is true everywhere, but is particularly so in Malawi where HIV/AIDS has had a devastating effect on communities; a generation of caregivers, teachers, community members and leaders has been lost… and are dearly missed. Add to this an educational system in decline and the situation becomes even worse. We want this to change.

We are building Mzuzu Academy, the Northern Region’s first internationally accredited secondary boarding school. With Mzuzu Academy we will ultimately provide the highest quality education for 400 children. Our goal is provide full scholarships to the brightest and most needy children so that they can receive an education that they would have never dreamed possible. It is only through education that Malawi will be able to address its many problems. Our dreams are big, but we have made great progress.

With your help we can do so much more. Please help us realize our dreams by supporting Maloto. Together, we can improve and change the lives of so many women, children, and their communities in Malawi. Join this cause and get involved now. Supporters of all ages from everywhere around the world are needed.

Thank you so much,

Anna Msowoya Keys
Maloto, Founder and CEO
