About St. Charles
St. Charles Primary School, in Chisankhwa, Malawi, opened its doors in September 2023 to 171 students in grades 1-4.
When fully constructed, it will provide a robust and faith-filled education to more than 300+ learners in grades 1-8.
But, what is so critical about this school?
Imagine — the first several hours of the early morning spent traveling on foot, over dirty roads, only to arrive at school too exhausted to focus.
Until now, this is the daily reality for many of the young people of Chisankhwa.
When the burden of walking to school becomes too great, children drop out, and — in the worst cases — are entrapped in a cycle of forced child labor.
Thankfully, there's a simple solution. We're building a school right in their own community, and we need your help.
Building a school in the community will make high-quality education accessible to these children, especially young girls.
Education is more than a basic human necessity. Especially here, and in other communities entrenched in extreme poverty, education can be the opportunity that pulls children out of their circumstances and allows them to thrive.
