Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Education
Mission: Maloto's mission is to transform the lives of vulnerable populations living in extreme poverty in Malawi by providing women and children with the opportunity to reach their full potential in an actively sustainable way. Maloto's vision is to create educated, empowered and productive communities in Malawi and to provide an opportunity for Africans to help Africans. Maloto values the insights and knowledge of local communities. We work directly with local partners to ensure development is relevant to people's lives and therefore sustainable.

And in 2013, Kwithu Kitchen Women's Canning Cooperative was launched with tomato products that are sold in local markets, hotels and restaurants. In 2020 the business expanded to include honey products. Both the tomato and honey products are sourced from local farmers and bee keepers.
