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.

Driving Change: A Generous Gift Powers Kuwala’s Agricultural Mission

Kuwala has recently introduced a new tractor to enhance the productivity and efficiency of agricultural operations. This Massey Ferguson four-wheel drive tractor, manufactured in Lahore, Pakistan, was transported across the ocean and overland to Malawi. We want to express our heartfelt thanks to an incredibly generous Canadian donor! Their support has allowed us to acquire this invaluable equipment, which will significantly enhance our farm operations. We’re excited about the positive impact this will have on our work and the community!

Stories from the Campus and community.

An inspiring nonprofit on a mission to empower women and girls throughout Africa!

Kuwala recently hosted a delegation from Blossom Africa Trust, a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering women and girls across the continent. The delegates delivered a compelling presentation that resonated with the students during their visit. They emphasized the importance of recognizing and embracing one’s God-given potential as a pathway to personal growth and fulfillment.
