Malawi Matters Inc. is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization whose mission is to develop and facilitate HIV and AIDS education with the people of Malawi, Africa. By connecting agencies and organizations and using hands-on techniques grounded in Malawian culture, we believe that Malawian youth and adults can find solutions to the HIV and AIDS crisis as well as improve and enhance the quality of life in this economically impoverished, but spiritually rich nation.

Our Expressed Goals

• stress HIV and AIDS prevention through active, hands-on education utilizing the arts and culture
• develop a core group of Malawian trainers to sustain our education programs
• communicate why it is vital to learn about HIV and AIDS in all spheres of life
• support on-going efforts to identify methods and skills necessary to address HIV and AIDS issues
• stimulate youth and adults to think creatively about HIV and AIDS issues
• connect agencies and organizations working toward eradication of HIV and AIDS in Malawi

 

Our Inspiration

The inspiration for Malawi Matters springs from the large concentration of warm, hard-working, and humble Malawians who make South Bend, Indiana U.S.A. (and the surrounding communities) their home. They are our friends and neighbors and have become our family … now their families in Malawi are our families, too. Their stories have changed our lives and compel Malawi Matters to help stem the destructive tide of HIV and AIDS that is decimating that country. By facilitating the necessary education and training needed in Malawi, we hope to bring an end to the present crisis of children raising children.

 

 

There are an estimated 650,000 orphans in Malawi due to AIDS.
