Malawi Program for Education and Nutrition (MPEN)

Transforming Lives Through Education and Nutrition

Our Mission:

To break the cycle of poverty in Malawi by equipping children with the tools, resources, and opportunities they need to thrive—one meal, one lesson, and one step at a time.

Nutritional Support: We ensure that every child receives at least one nutritious meal a day, often the only meal they have, to fuel their learning and development.

Educational Empowerment: SAC provides essential school supplies, books, and learning materials, alongside targeted tutoring and mentorship programs to help children excel in literacy, math, and other core subjects.

Holistic Child Development: Through early childhood education and specialized support for teenagers, SAC fosters personal growth, prepares children for higher education, and equips them with vocational skills for future success.

Our Impact:

By focusing on both the physical and intellectual nourishment of children, SAC aims to break the cycle of poverty and pave the way for a new generation of educated, empowered, and healthy individuals who can contribute positively to their communities.

Our Impact So Far:

- 300 Children Fed Daily: Nutritional meals provide sustenance and hope.

- Empowering Educators: Supporting staff with basic salaries to ensure consistency in education.

- Meeting Essential Needs: Distributing clothes, shoes, and food to children in need.

What We Do:

Every initiative we undertake is driven by our commitment to nurturing the potential of every child in Malawi:

1. Nutritional Support:

We provide a nutritious meal of porridge daily, often the only meal these children receive. Proper nutrition fuels their ability to learn, grow, and succeed.

2. Early education and Educational Empowerment:

We remove barriers that prevent children from accessing education by supplying essential school materials like books, stationery, and learning tools. We ensure young learners build a strong foundation for lifelong learning through structured preschool programs.

3. Teens Vocational Skills, Training and Mentorship:

Our volunteers mentor teens in vocational skills and training and set them on a path to success. We provide specialized programs for older students to prepare them for higher education, vocational training, and future leadership roles.
