Adziwa means “He knows” in Chichewa, the national language of Malawi, and is a positive expression of hope for the future of orphans. The orphanage was founded in 1999 and currently provides free daycare, primary, and secondary schooling for the 495 children under its care – 300 orphans and 195 biological children from 110 families.Adziwa provides this education free of charge, with a strong focus on holistic childhood development, including food diversification and nutrition education, as well as health and sanitation.
The Green Safaris Conservation Foundation has so far donated $1,500 USD to Adziwa, to be used in any of the organisation’s key areas of need, including salaries for 18 staff members, medical supplies and practitioner costs, the feeding program at the daycare, and farming equipment maintenance.
To help fund its operations, Adziwa also runs a maize mill and an organic farm. These social enterprises generate partial income to support daily meals, staff salaries, medical needs, and the maintenance of basic services like power and water.
