Where your money goes

“A dollar from here can go so much further over there”

Very simply, your donations go towards saving lives, maintaining families and building a future for the people of Malawi.

Lifeline Malawi is so much more than just a convenient place for “short term acts of kindness”. It has become part of the structure of life in Malawi, looking at the real needs and implementing long term sustainable solutions with the help of the very people that need them. We work with the government in Malawi. We work with international organizations, but most importantly we work with our patients in their communities.

Your donations are responsible for funding some urgently needed care in Malawi. Urgently needed, because they have a dying generation of parents due to HIV/AIDS, they have teenagers acting as parents to young children, teenagers whose life expectancy is, 30 years old – raising young children of whom 1 in 8 will die before they are 5 years old. Your money is helping to fund the solutions to these issues.

We are accountable and responsible with your donations. It is our duty to ensure while running our organization professionally and efficiently that your donations get to where they are needed – Malawi. It is our mandate that our Canadian operating expenses will not be higher than 10% resulting in 90% of your physical donation being put to work in the field making that important difference.
