The Big Give Christmas Challenge

We are delighted to once again be taking part in the Big Give Christmas Challenge, where in just one week we are aiming to raise £16,000 in support of our life-changing Graduation Programme.

Please save the date and don't miss this fantastic opportunity to have your Christmas donation to Open Arms DOUBLED, so together we can help vulnerable families become food secure, financially stable and self-sufficient so they can break free from extreme poverty for good!

How your donation will make a difference

One of the biggest issues families are facing in Malawi is securing enough to eat. Most of the population, especially those in rural areas, rely on small-scale farming to survive, but the changing and unpredictable climate is causing more and more harvests to fail - leaving many to go months without food.

Open Arms' Graduation Programme has been designed to empower ultra-poor families, all caring for orphaned and vulnerable children, to end hunger, improve health, generate income, and achieve self-sufficiency in just 3 years.

By equipping households with essential agricultural resources, skills and economic opportunities, the programme helps families 'graduate' from extreme poverty and dependence on external aid for good.

How The Big Give works

Thanks to the generosity of some wonderful key supporters, plus champion funding from The Coles-Medlock Foundation, we have an incredible £8,000 in pledged donations (our 'match fund pot'), waiting to be unlocked by your donations.

We need your help to secure these funds!

All you have to do is make your Christmas donation via The Big Give between 12pm Tuesday 2nd December - 12pm Tuesday 9th December and it will be doubled, until the match fund pot runs out. 

Any donations over and above this amount will add vital funds to our overall total and allow us to help even more families to take charge of their futures and overcome poverty.

Please note: Donations need to be made through our Big Give campaign page in order to be doubled. 

Together we can change lives

“I have passion to help these families have enough food to eat. If we can meet their basic needs, we can change their lives.” - Open Arms' Agriculture Officer, Patrick

Give the best gift this Christmas

The Graduation Programme is already changing lives in Malawi and with your support, we can extend this transformational initiative to more families in need. 

Please give what you can this Christmas and together, we can help to re-write more stories.
