The Orphan and Free Primary School Education

Although fees for primary education in Malawi were abolished in 1994, the cost of some of the things that support education is going higher and higher at the end of everyday. Things like books, uniforms, pens, shoes, plus administrative costs as well as food, can prevent poor children such as orphans and vulnerable children from being able to go to school.

Therefore we are appreciating for the Government of Malawi by introducing free primary education.
