Projects in Malawi
Raising the Baseline
Malawi is part of our long-term commitment to closing gaps of inequality through practical, values-led leadership and financial capability development.
Through Raise the Baseline, our work in Malawi aligns with a clear mission: to empower women and youth to become self-reliant, build sustainable futures, and create lasting impact within their communities.
Malawi presents both challenge and opportunity. Women represent a significant portion of the population, yet access to education, financial independence, and leadership pathways remains uneven. Our role is not to intervene temporarily, but to build capacity that strengthens independence, confidence, and long-term opportunity.
What This Looks Like in Practice
Our work in Malawi focuses on expanding access, strengthening capability, and building leadership pathways for women and girls. In collaboration with partners such as AGE Africa, who are committed to increasing educational access for girls, we ensure that opportunity is not limited to attendance alone, but is supported by the skills, confidence, and economic understanding required for long-term independence.
We design structured frameworks that integrate financial literacy, leadership development, emotional resilience, and institutional capacity building.
Our approach is:
Trauma-informed and culturally aware
Focused on long-term sustainability rather than short-term impact
Grounded in equity, integrity, and empowerment
Designed to build independence, not dependency
Every program is developed in partnership with local stakeholders to ensure relevance, ownership, and continuity beyond our direct involvement.
Our Programs
Financial Literacy for Women and Girls
Financial literacy is a foundational pillar of our work. We deliver structured training that equips women and girls with practical budgeting skills, financial planning awareness, and the confidence to make informed economic decisions. This is not theoretical instruction. It is applied learning that supports long-term stability, strengthens household security, and reduces vulnerability to financial dependency. By building economic capability alongside educational access, we help create pathways toward genuine self-reliance.
Women in Leadership Development
Our leadership programs are designed to strengthen voice, presence, and influence. We support women to clarify their values, develop communication confidence, and lead with integrity in their families, workplaces, and communities. The focus is not on positional authority, but on conscious leadership that shapes culture through example. When women are supported to rise with clarity and courage, they create environments where others can do the same.
Our Programs
Emotional Resilience and Trauma-Informed Development
Access and opportunity must be supported by internal stability. Many women and girls carry the weight of structural inequality, economic pressure, and social expectation. We integrate trauma-informed education and nervous system awareness into our programs so that resilience is built from within. Participants develop emotional regulation skills, self-awareness, and sustainable coping strategies that allow growth to be steady and enduring rather than reactive.
Capacity Building and Ongoing Support
Beyond training sessions, we focus on strengthening systems that sustain impact. We work with institutions, educators, and community leaders to embed frameworks that can continue independently. Through mentorship, advisory support, and structured follow-up, we prioritise continuity and local ownership. Our intention is not to create reliance, but to build capability that remains long after our direct involvement.
Building the Future Together
Sustainable change does not happen in isolation. It happens when individuals, institutions, and communities choose to act with intention.
Our work in Malawi is rooted in long-term commitment. Expanding access to education. Strengthening financial capability. Developing women who lead with clarity and integrity. This is not short-term intervention. It is structural, values-led transformation.
If this vision resonates with you, we invite you to stand with us. Whether through partnership, collaboration, or contribution, your support helps expand access for women and girls and strengthens the frameworks that build self-reliance and leadership across generations.
