We currently have 30 children on our secondary school scholarship program in Malawi.
We work closely with a Malawi-based organization called Children in the Wilderness (CITW). CITW hosts orphaned and underprivileged children at two camps - Mvuu Camp and Chintheche Inn. The children are selected from local orphan care centers and primary schools and attend a week long camp. Approximately 100 children attend these camps each year and during the week of activities they learn about health, nutrition, the environment and working as a team. It is from this pool of children that our students are selected. Each child has gone through the CITW program and is known to the local counselors. There are follow-up programs and the counselors are in touch with all former campers. This gives us a unique way of keeping in touch with the students throughout the year to make sure that school attendance is steady and they continue to get good grades.
