It remains our intention to prioriitse family connections and support children to remain with immediate or extended family so that they can thrive together. Where this is not possible we provide a safe place for vulnerable infants to recover their health before returning to live with their families as soon as they can.
Infant mortality in Malawi has been dropping for the past three decades. Your support has contributed to this.
Every day we get children referred to us for urgent care and your help allows us to work in partnership with communities, so that they can raise and care for these children - empowering them to realise their potential, even in remote communities with few resources.
Over half of the toddlers in Malawi are stunted by malnutrition and one child in 16 doesn’t make their 5th birthday. Sustainable support within communities is essential to changing these figures. That is why we support families to generate an income and move out of poverty for good.
The work of the Open Arms Infant Homes teams, our partners and your commitment makes all of this possible. Thank you!
Thanks to your help, last year we could send the funds needed to continue vital services that give lifesaving infant care and improve the lives of hundreds of vulnerable children in communities every single day.
