Education

For years, the scenic muddy and thatched classrooms at Chimwemwe Community Based Child Care Centre (CBCC) in Mzimba district stood as a symbol of tradition and nostalgia. However, their vulnerability to leaks during rainy seasons had become a pressing concern for dedicated caregivers, parents and children.

Over the years, there has been an increase in the number of children with disabilities enrolled at Kaphuta Primary School in Mzimba district. In 2021, the school enrolled 80 and in 2022, the figure rose to 97. Currently, the school has 101 learners with various forms of disabilities.  

When Peter was born in the town of Mzimba in northern Malawi eight years ago he was that precious little gem to his parents.
