About Program
The mission for this volunteer program is to care for and support children from as young as a month to 5 years old. Today, Sparkle Malawi is at full capacity with 150 orphan children, 65 of whom have HIV. As well as education, nutrition is a major focus for our kids. The provision of meals and regular health checks is top priority.
Activities: Feeding the children, helping with teaching, playing games, helping in the kitchens. Volunteers at Sparkle will also have the opportunity to help single mothers with training on child care, nutrition, hygiene talks. We also aim to provide creative learning to encourage the well rounded development of each and every child at Sparkle while also training local teachers.
Sparkle is located in the village of Sogoja Village, Skinner. 10 minutes outside of Zomba.
Consider your impact: Volunteering abroad can be a rewarding experience for both volunteers and local communities, and at Go Overseas, we believe all volunteers should have the resources to make informed decisions about the type of volunteer project they want to partake in. However, despite best intentions, some organizations offering placements in orphanages may unknowingly place children in danger.
