WHAT IS RAISING MALAWI?
It is Michael Berg's vision to bring light to all parts of the world. What better place to start than in the african nation of Malawi.
Malawi is one of the poorest countries in the world, suffering from famine, drought, poverty, and diseases like HIV/AIDS, malaria, tuberculosis, and hepatitis.
Out of a population of 12 million, at least 1 million are orphans.
Raising Malawi is a grassroots initiative offering lasting solutions to the orphans of Malawi. Our approach is comprehensivee, compassionate, and effective. Unhindered by obstacles such as bureaucracy and red-tape, Raising Malawi is run and staffed by volunteers, allowing us to raise these children up from powerlessness into self-empowerment -- quickly and directly.
Our solutions are: •Provide immediate and direct physical support such as food, medical care, clothing, clean drinking water, psychosocial counseling, and schooling.
•Provide sustainability. We are partnering with agricultural, medical, and educational experts to teach Malawians how best to improve these areas in the long run in order to create continuity and prosperity.
•Create a sense of self empowerment. This is where real societal change begins. To this end we are co-creating a curriculum with local Malawian teachers (based on the principles of the Spirituality for Kids Program) that empowers children with universal life skills.
Through an improved inner dialogue and strengthened sense of empowerment, Malawi's orphans will grow up in control of their destiny and able to reverse the destructive patterns that have permeated their society for generations.

Thank you for this video. I just came home from Malawi two weeks ago, and I saw some of the same places you shared in your video. Thank you for putting this out there for others to get a feel for the need in Malawi. And thank you for helping our friends who's smiles can warm anyone's heart.
Beautiful beautiful Malawi - a country where I lived for three years as a child - with so many happy memories of the Malawians - with their big wide smiles and laughter - as poor as they are they always manage to smile - a great example for our children - we should show them these videos to make them realise how very lucky they are
I lived in Malawi for three years from the age of 9 - 12 and watching this video clip brings back so many memories of those lovely and warm people - Malawi - the warm heart of Africa - as poor as those people are they always manage to smile and laugh - we should show videos like this to our children and make them realise just how fortunate they are -
