Since 2005 African Vision Malawi has been helping children and vulnerable people in Malawi, one of the poorest countries in the world. Our vision is to see a "healthy, educated and self-sufficient community in Malawi". To make this happen a self-sustaining training village is being built on a 10 acre site. It is now well underway and achieves the objective of a move away from hand-outs as we move towards creating self-sufficient training programmes that can support thousands of local people showing them how to improve their lives in terms of creating employment, organic farming, orphan support, reforestation, HIV prevention and many other important areas. We believe the Village will become a best-practice example for Malawi (and in time other parts of Africa) of how to encourage and develop sustainable, forward looking and skilled communities.
