“We have a business we’re proud of. We have hope again.” 💛
— Dorine, Mangochi District, Malawi

Just a short time ago, Dorine and her husband struggled to feed their children and keep them in school. After joining Yamba Malawi’s program, Dorine launched a small grocery business, planted food at home, and rebuilt stability for her family.

Her children now eat balanced meals, attend school every day, and dream about their futures.

This is the power of investing in women.

Today only, every gift is tripled thanks to a $20,000 match from Soraya Darabi, Dina Wizmur, Kristen Segal, and Sonia Farber, women entrepreneurs supporting mothers in Malawi.

Give today for 3X impact.

“Most people can’t believe it when they see how we live now.”
— Patuma, Chantulo Village

A year ago, Patuma’s children often went to bed hungry. Today, her clothing business supports her family with steady income, and her home is filled with food, school uniforms, and stability for the first time.

Her story is just one example of what’s possible when mothers are given the tools and training to build lasting change.

This holiday season, your gift is doubled, thanks to Soraya Darabi, Dina Wizmur, Kristen Segal, and Sonia Farber.

🌍 World Nutrition Day 🌾

In the communities where we work, the number of families with a child who goes to bed hungry has dropped from 70% to just 25% — and we’re only halfway through our research trial.

Every child deserves to go to sleep nourished, not hungry. Together, we can get that number to zero. 💛

Join us in building a Malawi where no child goes to bed hungry. Visit our link 🔗 in bio.
