Kuwala Christian Girls School | Educating teenage girls in Malawi.

Educating girls in Malawi

We are a team of Canadians partnering with Malawians to provide education to girls with no other options. We operate a girls Christian boarding school in rural Malawi, Africa.

Based on a proven model, we will provide tuition-free education initially to girls from poverty-stricken homes equipping them to graduate, go on to college, or return and help to pull their families out of poverty.

About Malawi

Known as the warm heart of Africa, Malawi is located in south central Africa with the majority of the population being subsistence farmers growing maize for food on small plots of land Malawi.

One of the most Christian dominant communities in Africa, Malawi is also one of the poorest with 50% of the population living below the poverty line and 70% living on less then $1.25 per day 48% of the population is under age 14 with 10 million children under age 20.

Sponsor a girl and give the gift of education

Form 1 student: Alyssa, Kuwala_2024

Sponsorship covers the cost of educating girls including school fees, uniform, school supplies, safe accommodation on campus, and nutritious food. Sponsoring a girl through school provides hope and helps them achieve their full potential while reducing poverty in Malawi. Educating one girl, saves three lives from poverty.

Stories from the Field

Stories from the Farm.

Wheat Cultivation at Kuwala Farm.

Kuwala Farm is taking an exciting leap forward by introducing wheat as a new crop — the first time this versatile grain has been cultivated in Malawi. Early signs are promising: golden sheaves are emerging, filling the farm with hope for a bountiful harvest. If successful, wheat could become a key component of our crop rotation, opening up new opportunities for local flour production and strengthening our community’s food security.

New friendships, new beginnings.

As the new school year begins, an unmistakable excitement fills the air—students are eager to delve into their studies, build a vibrant community, and forge lasting friendships.
