What we do

At Open Arms we believe that every child has the right to survival and development. We provide essential care for Malawi's orphaned and abandoned children, giving them the chance to achieve their potential within the love and security of a home.

Our principal aim is to support the return of fit and healthy toddlers to their extended families. We work closely with communities to build brighter futures for children and their families for generations to come.

Watch Our Story

We give orphaned and abandoned children in Malawi the chance to grow up with the love of a family and the security of a home. Watch the video opposite to see how.

Isaac's story

Isaac came to Open Arms at 11 months old. His Mum was sick and had been taken to hospital so he had no where to go. Click the arrows below to read his story.

At Open Arms

Eunice looked after him at Open Arms. Through good nutrition, he built strength and he developed socially by playing with the other children.

Returning home

When his Mum got better he returned home with her. They were happy to be back together again.

Keeping in touch

Open Arms continued to visit them at their home and on one visit it was clear that they needed help. It was rainy season and their roof was leaking. Open Arms were able to support the family.

Support when it is needed

Every month they now visit Open Arms for support. This allows the family to stay together but get extra help when they need it.

Building brighter futures

By nurturing vulnerable children, returning them to their families and supporting communities, we are making a sustainable difference to the children of Malawi.
