Story

Rare Charity’s focus is tight and direct: to create educational opportunities within tea-producing communities. Fifteen years ago, Rare Tea Company began working with the Satemwa Tea Estate in Malawi, East Africa.

We asked the local workers on the Estate what they needed most, and they gave us a clear and unanimous answer – educational opportunities. Rare Charity was founded in 2016 to respond to this need.  

Now we fund University and College education for young people across the Satemwa Tea Estate focusing on individual students. This is because we believe that through their education, wider social change within their community will be achieved. We invest in young people so that they can pursue ambitions of which their parents may have only dreamed of.

We understand that our scholars are people, not statistics. We never impose a foreign agenda upon them, nor do we export prescriptive ideals. Instead, we listen to their individual ambitions and then work on their terms to fulfil them - because we recognise that it is the scholars, not us, who can implement sustainable and lasting change within their communities.

Kindly share your details when you donate (instead of donating anonymously), as Rare charity always likes to say a personal thank you.
