After Cyclone Freddy, many people lost their homes. Funds were raised to build sturdy houses for these people and in the meantime, we have started rebuilding!

Storm Freddy destroyed the access road to Kwanjana. We want to repair this road in a sustainable way to prevent this from happening again.

In March 2023, storm Freddy raged across Malawi, with dire consequences. Many houses and infrastructure were destroyed. For a Change is helping to rebuild Kwanjana.

As we drive into Kwanjana, we see maize everywhere. Almost every day it rains, a blessing for the maize. But if we look closely, we notice that there seem to be two different types of maize. Dark green and light green. Read more...

Good education, a matter of life and death! Several years ago, we were able to realise a nursery school in Kwanjana. We are looking forward to also being able to realise a primary school in the future.

We are so happy now that the nursery is open again! Finally our sponsor children can come back to school to learn. Only we don't have the space to teach everyone at the same time. High time for new classrooms!

Water is indispensable. Something we do use daily. Especially when every day we have to cook two meals for seventy people, water is extremely important. Therefore we are so happy that there will come running water at the centre. What a blessing!

When we drive across Kwanjana, we can see nice green cornfields all around us. The corn is growing very good this year, and the people look forwards to a promising harvest. But people don't have hope. What is going on?

After the heavy rains in March, many houses in Kwanjana collapsed. We were able to provide emergency relief to the 250 families who were affected. We have researched a long-term solution and this means that new houses will be built.

Every day food is prepared for all children of the sponsorprogram, by the mothers and the action committee. That is a big job, especially in the kitchen we have at this moment. It's a small kitchen and temporarily made when it was raining season.

Because of heavy and steady rainfalls, there is a lot of need in Malawi and also in Kwanjana. We visited all families in Kwanjana and 250 families were affected by the rainfalls and lost (part of) their homes. Therefore, we registered those families and decided to provide them with emergency aid.

A playground at the Meeting and Knowledge Centre in Kwanjana. Playing is important for the cognitive and social development of children.

Building relationships with the people you are working with, is incredibly important. Especially in Malawi, a relationship-oriented culture!

In March 2018, we organized a reading competition at the Ntundama primary school.

On October 14, it is Mother's day in Malawi. A special day for some special attention! Therefore, we want to give mothers and their newborn babies in the hospital something extra.

Trees are very important. Everyone knows some reasons why. Trees provide us with oxigen, clean the air, help us in fighting climate changes, help to prevent soil erosion and some trees provide us with healthy fruits.

To be able to continue our work, and to be able to give shape to our vision, we established an Action Committee.

On March, 23, 2017, we bought a piece of land. During the same year, we started to build our Meeting & Knowledge Centre.

Due to heavy rainfalls, a part of the way was washed away. Besides the road, there was a small stream that has become wider because of the rain. The water flows down from the mountain.

The 'Light of Hope' project was founded around Christmas 2016. We visited hospitals and provided patiënts with usuable products such as soap, salt and sugar.
