Transformative Praxis: Malawi

Education on Covid 19 at Praxis Malawi

Location: Malawi (Chilanga, Kasungu District)

Transformative Praxis: Malawi (TPM) is a not-for-profit based community campus for lifelong learning aimed at collectively meeting the challenges of Education, Health and Development in Chilanga, in rural Malawi. Developed through years of consultation between international and local community, with the objectives of revealing and acknowledging old destructive habits of Global North and Global South interactions and working towards new strategies of solidarity, we are committed to local agency and sustainability.

We have just finished giving educational workshops on how the community can stop the spread of corona virus. We have managed to reach 1200 families. We also supported families with soap and are currently making masks which according to the information from World Health Organization help to reduce the spread of Covid 19. We plan to sell masks at a low cost to support families in the community.

Support

We are facing funding challenges because our project is primarily depending on students volunteering on the campus. Because of Covid 19, we have lost their expertise and financial resources they provide.

Other needs: Volunteers, Access to information
