When children have intestinal worms, even the most nutritious meals can’t reach their full potential. These parasites steal vital nutrients and prevent proper absorption, leaving kids malnourished despite regular feeding. That’s why our recent deworming initiative in Malawi was such an important complement to our daily feeding program.

At our site – “Mmela Wathanzi” (which means healthy seedlings in Chichewa) – we don’t just feed the children. We try to use your donations to support their growth in a multitude of ways. Here you can see the kids getting their deworming pills. 

 By treating intestinal parasites, we’ve helped ensure that every meal we provide can actually nourish growing bodies and minds. Healthier children with better appetites, improved energy for learning, and significantly better school attendance. When kids aren’t weakened by parasites, they can fully benefit from both the nutrition we provide and their education.

For less than £1 per child, deworming transforms our feeding program from simply providing calories to delivering nutrition that can truly change lives. It’s a small investment that multiplies the impact of every meal we serve. Thank you again for your donations!
