Story

Many families in Malawi are currently suffering from significant food shortages and poverty due to a weakening of the economy and a poor harvest following severe storms and flooding earlier this year. Sadly, many are struggling to provide for their children. The sharp increase in the cost of formula milk means some extended families cannot afford to look after orphaned or abandoned babies. Without the support of Open Arms these vulnerable babies would not survive.

Your fundraising will help provide nutritious food to babies and children that we support, helping them thrive and develop in this difficult time.

With your help we can really Make a Meal of it.

Today, 1,890 babies will be born in Malawi. 320 will become orphans. 87 will die before their first birthday from malnutrition or illness. We’re the only organisation in southern Malawi able to feed, house and care for these babies and support their return to their communities.
