FOR THE
FUTURE

Love Support Unite empowers communities to become self-sufficient, with a leg-up rather than a hand-out.

We create self-sufficiency and food security through funding integrated community-based projects around education, nutrition, enterprise and healthcare. Working alongside African Vision Malawi, Mphatso Children’s Foundation and Stepping Stones within Malawi.

Our partners the Malawi Projects fund vital operational costs and salaries to make projects happen! Together we are more.

66 million primary school-age children attend classes hungry across the developing world, with 23 million in Africa alone.

HEALTH

Malawi has some of the lowest access to healthcare in the world with only 1 physician per 50,000 people; over half of Malawians live more than 5kms away from a medical centre and many can’t afford treatment. The country has 9th highest prevalence of HIV/AIDs in the world, which with malaria and other disease, makes child and adult mortality rates among the highest in Africa; 1 in 6 children is an orphan.

ENVIRONMENT

In Malawi 1.7 million people have no access to safe water and 10 million are without a source that enables adequate sanitation. As a result, more than 1700 children die in Malawi every year. Clean water does more to increase human lifespan than any kind of drug or surgery.

ENTERPRISE

An economy dependent on struggling agriculture leaves over half the 18.5m population in poverty. 80% live in rural areas and rely on farming for income and food security. Lack of access to resources force farmers with their own land to have to work on other farms, trapping them in the poverty cycle due to low wages and high inflation. A single harvest means that only those with money, or who’ve saved enough from the previous harvest, have food security.
