Our Story
Malawi Youth Education Fund was created in 2022 after students from the community of Manchewe in Northern Malawi, were in need of secondary school [high-school] fees. The effects of world-wide inflation had increased the costs of education in Malawi, making it difficult for families to find tuition. It was for this reason we started the non-profit MYEF.
Our Values
Our goal with starting MYEF was simple - to contribute towards education initiatives in Malawi. This includes providing deserving and high performing students with an opportunity to pursue secondary and tertiary education, as well as contributing to community driven, education-centered projects.
Our Approach
We believe that education is tied to a number of socially beneficial factors that improve the lives of individuals, their communities, and society. By donating to MYEF you are supporting the growth of Malawi through education, while providing students with an opportunity to be a part of this growth and the development of their community in Northern Malawi.
“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” —Nelson Mandela

WHY MALAWI?
WHY EDUCATION?
WHY EDUCATION?
In Malawi, it was reported by UNICEF in 2022 that an average of 23% of children of secondary school age throughout the country finish their second year of secondary school. This percentage drops even further with only 15% completing their fourth year of secondary school. These rates decrease even more in rural communities within Malawi.

WHY EDUCATION?
Providing motivated individuals with the opportunity to receive an education is more than giving a student the chance to sit in a classroom and learn. Education also contributes to economic development, reduces child pregnancy and marriages, gives students a chance to improve critical thinking skills, and can help reduce poverty of a community.

MYEF is an 100% volunteer organization because our board members believe in providing maximum impact with your donation. With volunteers on the ground helping manage this program, we have direct communication with the students we are sponsoring and projects we are supporting. MYEF is more than a non-profit, it's a community effort towards development.
