URGENT HELP NEEDED
30 children and 7 JCT volunteers killed, 14 Community Based Childcare Centres swept away, houses destroyed, food stocks ruined – coming to terms with the aftermath of Cyclone Freddy.
There is never enough
With over 8000 orphaned and vulnerable children now in its care, the JCT Foundation continues to expand its reach. Inevitably, this means resources are continually stretched.
New Community Childcare Centre needed
JCT not only take care of children who have been orphaned through HIV/Aids, they also take care of those whose families cannot afford to care of them themselves.
Water is life
Six boreholes dug at three Community Based Childcare Centres: one for each centre, and one for the surrounding communities each centre supports.
Persevering through a pandemic
JCT has been at the forefront of education programmes to counteract the spread of Covid-19 in the rural communities in which it works.
Malawi hit by two cyclones
A state of disaster has been declared after flooding, caused by cyclones Anna and Gombe washed away houses, roads, crops, and cattle.
Food creates an appetite for learning
JCT is helping alleviate ultra-poverty in some of the remotest, rural parts of the country, where access to food, clean water, and education is not always a given.
Covid affecting funding
Whilst Covid-19 infections are low, social distancing protocols are affecting JCT Malawi’s ability to hold fundraising events
Food is scarce
In the rainy season, before the harvest, food has become scarce. Even if you can source it, the economics of supply and demand means prices have risen.
