Blantyre, Malawi

In a place where free education is a luxury, many families in Blantyre, Malawi, can't afford their children's education essentials. Our Village School Sponsorship Program ensures that marginalized children can access quality education by covering tuition, uniforms, transportation, and daily lunch. Additionally, we offer our Village Tutoring Program, which provides essential academic support, bridging the education gap and offering these children a brighter future.

Our Small Business Start-Up Co-Op program provides a lifeline for girls aged 14 to 24 who haven't received a formal education. We equip them with artisan skills and business training, helping them avoid alternatives like trafficking, early marriage, or early pregnancy. Graduates can start small businesses with our support and oversight, fostering economic independence and self-reliance.

Maternal death is a pressing issue in Malawi, resulting in countless orphans. Open Road Global is addressing this by offering prenatal and postnatal care, led by a trained local public health nurse, to the most underserved communities. Health education is also an integral part of our work, promoting well-being for both mothers and children.

Blantyre, Malawi, is no stranger to food insecurity. Our Community Center, created in partnership with local Malawian officials, provides a community activity hub. From tutoring programs for children to a small medical clinic and livelihood opportunities, this community-driven vision is making a significant impact.

We've also initiated community-led chicken coop projects to provide nutritious food and strengthen community bonds. Plus, our Corn Grain Grinding Program aims to alleviate the burden on families who rely on corn as their primary food source by building a community grinder.
