Plan’s work in Malawi covers 5 key areas, all of which are rooted in the rights of the child. The approach is based on the Human Rights Based Approach to Development (HRBAD) from which Plan’s Child Centred Community Development (CCCD) approach derives its core principles.
Plan has been working in Malawi since 1994, helping poor children to access their rights to health, education and food security.
Malawi ranks among the world’s 10 least developed countries and faces several challenges including food insecurity, the AIDS pandemic and rising poverty.
Our programmes directly benefit around 29,000 children in 95 communities within our impact areas and have positive effects on thousands more children, especially where our activities have been scaled up.
