Orphan Care
Background
- Chikondi Orphan Care was created in 2004 by Margaret Mbwana, in Lilongwe Malawi.
- Margaret lost her own children through HIV/AIDS and had to take on responsibility for her grandchildren with all the stigma associated with this. She wanted to help other orphans in the same situation and Chikondi Orphan care was created.
- Chikondi meaning ‘Love’
- Chikondi orphanage currently has 120 orphans and vulnerable children.
To date Nana Foundation has:
- Rebuilt the classrooms with brick, plastered walls and repaired flooring
- Built a perimeter wall for safety and privacy
- Built separate sex toilets
- Regularly provides stationary and supplies
Nana Foundation ensures all children have substantial lunch daily and are provided with basic numeracy and literacy classes.
