We focus on the sustainable development of under privileged communities and school children in Malawi. We found that Malawi can developwith the help of Moringa and sustainable, organic farming techniques.
The leaves of Moringa tree have extensive nutritional value and medicinal properties. Adding Moringa to the daily diet results in improved health and leads to faster recovery from illnesses especially in diabetes and HIV patients. In a country where malnutrition and HIV are a major problem, Moringa can make the difference!
80% of the population of Malawi are subsistent farmers,being entirely food dependent on the harvest of their land. They typically spend 30 to 50% of their total income on expensive, imported fertilizers. Most of these expenses can be saved by making their own fertile compost from available residual vegetation, organic material that farmers currently burn. Sustainable, organic farming methods provide tremendous cost savings, healthier crops and a better harvest.
On our organic Moringa plantation, we grow around 60,000 Moringa trees. We process the leaves into powder and food supplements that we sell locally, donate to care programs and use for school breakfast as part of our School Feeding Programme.
With the School Feeding Programme, we help primary schools grow their own moringa, maize, soy and peanuts in a sustainable, organic way, so that they can prepare a healthy school breakfast for the children every morning. We do this with the financial support of sponsors until the school is self-sufficient.
With the financial support of sponsors, we can start the School Feeding Programme at more schools in Malawi. Do you want to contribute to this? Sponsor a school for 1 euro per child per week, until the school is self-sufficient after 3 years.
