A new spring in his step…
In the first term of academic year 2020/2021 we noticed that YOHANE was not attending classes frequently. On further investigation and a home visit, we realised this was due to lack of basic needs at his home such as a pair of shoes and clothes. He would only attend on the days his clothes were clean as he had just one outfit. While his mother washed his other clothes and they were wet, he would be forced to wait at home. He had outgrown his shoes and was walking 9 minutes to Sparkle barefoot. We have now provided him with clothes and shoes and he is back attending Sparkle every day. He is such a delightful boy aged 5 and is about to graduate to Primary School.

At just seventeen, Luce travelled from Malta to Malawi to volunteer with The Sparkle Foundation, working across nutrition, healthcare and social media, and coming home with a new understanding of herself and the community she came to serve. This is the story of Luce's journey with purpose.
The Sparkle Foundation is proud to celebrate a major milestone: the graduation of Cohort One from the Job Readiness Programme, delivered in partnership with NAMA Women Advancement and with the support of HeR Liberty Malawi. Over six weeks, participants worked through a full curriculum designed to build practical, real-world skills in digital literacy, business management and financial planning. The Sparkle Foundation designed the programme to meet women where they are, equipping them not just with theory, but with tools they can put to use immediately in their own lives and livelihoods.
