THE ORGANIZATION

In Malawi, the word "yamba" translates to "begin," which embodies the mission of Yamba Malawi: fostering brighter beginnings for the children while fostering lasting change within their communities. Established in 2006, Yamba Malawi is a nonprofit organization dedicated to eradicating child poverty in the country. Since 2017, the organization has pioneered the only child-centric ultra-poverty graduation program in Malawi. This transformative initiative has benefited over 1,500 households by providing training, coaching, and essential resources in entrepreneurship, financial literacy, and caregiving. These efforts enable families to address their children's needs while simultaneously breaking free from the cycle of poverty. In 2023, Yamba Malawi aims to expand its outreach by bringing its programs to five out of the 28 districts in Malawi.

Registered as a 501(c)(3) organization, Yamba Malawi maintains offices in both New York, USA, and Malawi to streamline its operations and maximize its impact.
