A Local Environment Where Students Thrive

Our philosophy

Maloto believes that quality, competitive schooling should be an option for all children.  It’s not sufficient to teach our children only to read and write.   We must also teach our children to be analytical, to be problem-solvers and to be compassionate leaders.  We have lost a generation to HIV/AIDS.  Today’s children are truly tomorrow’s leaders.  Maloto is dedicated to preparing children for this important role.

Our work

Mzuzu Academy under constructionIn response to the critical shortage of secondary schools in Malawi, Maloto is building Mzuzu Academy, which will be the first internationally accredited secondary school in the northern region of Malawi.  It will offer small class sizes and excellent facilities, including a library, computer and science labs, dormitories, and a modern kitchen and dining hall.  The school will also attract experienced and dedicated teachers -- from Malawi and abroad -- to instruct students in the internationally recognized IGCSE curriculum.  When doors open in 2010, Mzuzu Academy will educate 400 of Malawi’s brightest students and will offer scholarships to students who do not have the financial means to attend a competitive secondary school. To date, 16 classrooms and bathrooms have been built.  Work is on going to complete the remaining facilities.

Our community

Mzuzu Academy construction crewThe children are not the only members of the community who will benefit from Mzuzu Academy.  It will also offer much-needed employment opportunities for Malawians, newly qualified teachers in particular. Maloto is dedicated to the development of local professionals and leaders.  Mzuzu Academy will work closely with the community, including purchasing food from local, small-scale farmers.
