Love. Nurture. Grow.

The lotus flower is the national flower of Malawi and a symbol of growth.

Join us as we embark on a journey to make origami lotus flowers. We're doing this to raise awareness and funds to support the lifesaving work Open Arms, supporting orphaned and vulnerable children, so they can thrive at home with their families.

Each flower is small, unique and beautiful, but together they will make a huge impact on the lives of children in Malawi.

By joining this initiative, you will be helping orphaned and vulnerable children receive:

Love - enabling vulnerable children to stay with their families and grow up within their home communities.

Nurture - essential nutrition such as formula milk and fortified porridge, access to medical care and monitoring with support to ensure children thrive at home, as well as early years education.

Grow - farming support to help families grow enough food to eat, generate an income and break free from poverty

Working together to make a difference

After an inspiring presentation about the work of Open Arms from one of its young members, a local Brownie group then took part in our Love. Nurture. Grow campaign, purchasing and making 30 origami lotus flowers and creating a beautiful display with them in the shape of the Brownie emblem. How can your community group work together to make a difference?

Your donation will help children in Malawi grow up healthy with the love of a family
