New Beginnings, Lasting Change
Yamba Malawi transforms children’s lives by empowering communities to break the cycle of poverty. With community-led programs centered around childhood wellbeing, sustainable businesses, and financial management, our Childhoods & Livelihoods Program is building new beginnings for children and lasting change for their communities.
We work at the intersection of two proven models—poverty graduation and early childhood development—to improve children’s lives.
We address the multifaceted nature of vulnerability—not only financial poverty, but challenges children face across food security, health, education, and more.
