I had the pleasure and the privilege of volunteering here for one month, and it was an incredibly meaningful and enriching experience for me.

From the very first day, I was introduced on the ground to the different projects and activities I could be involved in. The team is very open to ideas and suggestions, which made me feel immediately… read more included and valued.

One of the projects that impressed me the most was the program supporting people living with HIV. They organize regular community meetings in different villages to raise awareness, provide education, and create a safe space for discussion and mutual support. HIV is still a very real issue in the area, and this project allows you to truly understand its impact. We had the chance to listen to people’s experiences and offer both practical and emotional support, which was very powerful.

We also visited the Children Corner, a place where a group of dedicated young women support children from challenging backgrounds who struggle to attend school. They provide basic education, teach practical skills, organize activities, and offer a safe environment where children can simply be children. They also try to address family-related issues, working with parents and sometimes local authorities. Being part of this project was deeply touching and eye-opening.

Another key project, and the one we dedicated most of our time to, was the pre-school. During the first days, we visited this kindergarten and quickly realized that the structure was not suitable in terms of safety, functionality, and overall environment. The building also included a small clinic, mainly serving pregnant women, people living with HIV, and children.

Together, we decided to significantly improve this project. A crucial aspect—something they consistently prioritize—was the involvement of the local community and collaboration with local workers. By combining our skills with those of the community, we were able to transform both the pre-school and the clinic into much more appropriate and welcoming spaces. It was physically demanding work, but incredibly rewarding. We could clearly see how even small improvements had a real impact on the children’s lives and, more broadly, on the entire community.

What truly stands out about this place is the motivation and dedication of Anderson and the whole team. They are open-minded, hardworking, and genuinely committed to improving their community step by step. Anderson, in particular, is a very capable and organized person who truly knows what he is doing, and his leadership plays a key role in making the projects effective and sustainable.

Personally, I feel I gave my best during this experience, but I received even more in return. I learned so much from the people I met—the sense of community, the willingness to help others without expecting anything back, the ability to appreciate simple things, and to smile in every situation. This experience has truly changed me, and I would recommend it to anyone who feels ready.

On a practical note, I stayed at Anderson’s home with his family. They are wonderful people—kind, welcoming, and respectful of personal space. Of course, living conditions are not the same as in Western countries, so it requires some adaptability. However, I believe this is an essential part of the experience and a great way to integrate into the local community. The village is beautiful, especially because of the people who live there. If you are open and respectful, you will feel more than welcome.

During the week, you are expected to work and be proactive, while also adapting to the local rhythm and culture. Weekends are free and offer great opportunities to explore Malawi. Despite being a relatively small country, there are many places worth visiting, such as the Zomba Plateau, Majete Wildlife Reserve for a safari, or the city of Blantyre. I traveled using local transport, which I would definitely recommend—it’s safe with the right precautions and gives you a much deeper understanding of the country.

If you decide to volunteer with them, I would strongly encourage you to be open-minded but also proactive. The organization is constantly evolving and values feedback from volunteers. One suggestion I shared was to create a clearer list of tasks for each project—even simple ones—so that new volunteers can quickly understand how to contribute in a practical way and avoid wasting time, which can happen at times as the pace and working style are different and may feel a bit less efficient at times, but is something they are actively working to improve.

Volunteering here allows you to give a lot, but also to receive even more. You will return home with unforgettable memories, valuable lessons, and, like me, you might leave a piece of your heart in Chikwawa.

I am deeply grateful to the entire team and the community for this experience.
