Creating a community of learners
We run eight preschools, providing early childhood education to over
900 children every day in Malawi.
The children learn the alphabet, numbers, colors, shapes and much more. Singing, dancing and play are important parts of the day too.

Enriching the mind, one child at a time
With your help we can continue making a difference to early childhood education by ensuring that all the preschools are equipped with enthusiastic and trained teachers, varied learning resources and are a safe and fun place to learn.
Reaching the most vulnerable children
Many children in Malawi are orphans or live in extreme poverty and often struggle to find enough food to eat.
Our sweet potato project ensures that each child who attends preschool receives a hot meal. Not only does this improve concentration, but it also creates an incentive to attend – providing a benefit not only to their educational needs but also to their health.

Why are these pre-schools so important?
Most people recognize the critical link between the important foundation which early childhood education provides, and the level of academic success students will experience throughout their lives. Those early formative years are essential to a child’s education and development overall.
The Malawian government recognizes this link and encourages communities to set up local preschools. However, with no financial support, the reality is that preschools are almost always run on a voluntary basis without any resources. And, most teachers work for free, often in buildings which are unsuitable and even unsafe for children.
Ripple Africa is making a difference to early childhood education by ensuring that the eight preschools we run are equipped with enthusiastic teachers, varied learning resources and are a safe and fun place to learn.
Our preschools are the perfect foundation for children going to primary school. Headteachers and teachers at the primary schools we support have commented that the children who have attended our preschools are far better prepared as they enter Standard One.
Can you tell me more about the sweet potato feeding programme?
Many children in Malawi are orphans or live in extreme poverty and often struggle to find enough food to eat. Our sweet potato project ensures that each child who attends preschool receives a hot meal. This helps improve concentration, creates an incentive to attend preschool, and reaches the most vulnerable children in the community by providing a benefit not only to their educational needs but also to their health. In addition, each teacher is paid a small bonus for growing the sweet potatoes, which supplements their income and overall financial well-being.
