Child Focus
Past Grantee

Child Focus Organization is a youth led NGO, serving marginalized schools in rural Malawi and the right of every child to survival, protection, development, and participation.

 

The organization was founded in 2016, with the purpose of tackling the lack of academic resources and poor learning environment in marginalized schools; high school dropout among girls due to lack of knowledge on Sexual Reproductive Health and Rights that lead to early pregnancies; lack of encouragement for people to plant trees to battle climate change.

​

The organization's focus areas include: Health (Maternal and child health, Sexual Reproductive Health Rights), Education, Climate Change and Environment. 

​​​​

Child Focus has built toilets for teachers and students, and changing rooms for girls; hundreds of schoolgirls have been equipped with menstruation and hygiene management skills through the 'Keeping Girls in School' project. Child Focus also provides training to mothers' groups, counseling and education support to underprivileged learners in marginalized communities in Eastern Malawi.
