World Vision Hong Kong in Malawi (2024)

Tags：

Malawi remains one of the poorest countries in the world despite making significant economic and structural reforms to sustain economic growth. In the past 5 years, the country has seen its economic crisis worsening. It was devastated by extreme weather events and food price skyrocketed due to a short supply of crops, pushing many vulnerable people into extreme poverty. Social instability prevails as the result of the recent election was unsettled.

World Vision has been implementing relief, development and advocacy interventions in Malawi since 1982. We are partnering with local stakeholders and the government to improve the well-being of children, with our work currently covering 20 districts of the country.

In 2024, World Vision Hong Kong contributed approximately HK$9.69 million to support 3 APs in Malawi, benefiting about 72,910 people.
