Maloto is rooted in the belief that, through access to education and economic development activities, women and children can improve their quality of life and lift themselves out of poverty. We accomplish this by providing financial and technical assistance to three effective local organizations: Kwithu Womens Group (aka Kwithu CBO), Mzuzu International Academy, and Kwithu Kitchen.

They raised over $600,000 and, in September of 2010, Mzuzu International Academy was opened with 35 students the first internationally accredited school in northern Malawi. In 2013, Mzuzu International Academy expanded to include an international primary school. Currently there are over 375 students attending school at Mzuzu Academy. At this time, Maloto provides a small annual operating subsidy to Mzuzu Academy, which is primarily supported by tuition and boarding fees. Maloto provides scholarships to over 20 local vulnerable children to attend Mzuzu Academy. Maloto also provides some funding for capital improvement projects as needed. 408754 Kwithu Womens Group (aka Kwithu CBO)Kwithu, which translated means "home", was formed in 2005 by an inspiring group of women who came together to provide assistance to the large number of orphans living in the outskirts of Mzuzu, Malawi even though they themselves had limited means. The Kwithu Orphan Feeding Program was originally conceived to provide hot meals to these orphaned children at a temporary, make-shift community center consisting of a dirt floor and a thatched roof. In 2010, Maloto provided funding for construction of a permanent building to replace this temporary shelter. This new structure has allowed the group to greatly expand its capacity and feed many more children. The feeding program now serves hot, nutritious meals to over 300 children three times a week. For many of these children, this is the most nutritious food they will receive all week. Kwithu is a dynamic, community-based organization and has greatly expanded its activities and its reach. In addition to the feeding program, the Group now operates a number of other initiatives for vulnerable children and families in the community, including:before- and after-school tutoring and recreation programs for over 270 children, an HIV/AIDS information and education service, which supports more than 60 HIV+ children and their families and conducts information and education campaigns in the broader community,an early childhood education program which provides two full-day learning programs for 60 children, ages 3-5 years, providing scholarships for over 70 local orphans and vulnerable children to attend local secondary schools and Malawian Universities, andthe development of income-generation projects for women in the community who often bear the burden of providing for their families alone.The Group also owns and operates its own garden, which not only provides food for the feeding program, but also produces excess produce that is sold in local markets and given to the neediest of families within the Group. 220098 In 2010, the 20 women associated with the Kwithu Womens Group, in conjunction with several Maloto Board Members, recognized that tomatoes, among the countrys most important natural resources, were not being well-utilized because of the existing agricultural systems limitations. The organization took an entrepreneurial approach to addressing the matter. Leaders of Kwithu Kitchen brought the women together with the Board Members and developed its first commercial product: a naturally preserved whole tomato product, called Garden Fresh Tomatoes. Responding to consumer demand, Kwithu Kitchen developed popular Chopped Tomato and Tomato Puree products.Since 2014, Kwithu Kitchen has built tomato and honey processing facilities and built relationships with more than 750 small-holder farmers and beekeepers. Kwithu Kitchen - ContinuedIn 2020, Kwithu Kitchen received government approval to begin selling honey products. KK quickly became the countrys largest honey processor and supplier (processing and selling more than 40 tons of honey annually). Kwithu Kitchens tomato and honey products can be found in all of the countrys major supermarket and hotel chains.The ultimate goal is to make Kwithu Kitchen a viable business, which would provide employment for up to 50 people and a means of regular income for 1,000 small-holder famers and beekeepers. A portion of Kwithu Kitchens sales is donated to the Kwithu Womens Group to support their programs (described above). 1048086 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false true false false true true true false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false true 6 0 false 2 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 13 12 true false false false false false false true false false false true true true true true true false false false CA CT DC FL GA IL NM NY VA WA WI X ANNA RODRIGUEZ 8453583272 21 WEST 46TH STREET SUITE 1408 NEW YORK NY 10036 X ANA MSOWOYA KEYS PRESIDENT 40.00 0.00 93391 0 10640 JOHN KEYS COO 40.00 0.00 72900 0 10640 LIZA NUGENT Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 VICTORIA HARMON Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 CLAIRE JOHNSTON Secretary 5.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 JACOB KOSHLAND Treasurer 5.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 PHLYSSA KOSHLAND Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 KATE MORAN Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 CHRISTI ANDREWS COHEN Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 MEREDITH BROKAW EMERITUS 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 MITCHELL WARREN BOARD CHAIR 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 GINA PAOLONI EMERITUS 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 ELIZABETH BOHART EMERITUS 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 ANDREA CUVELIER Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 166291 21280 0 false false false 0 221483 1010712 636290 1232195 0 0 0 0 0 632296 636279 -3983 -3983 -3983 115334 221483 110641 4693 0 0 0 1232905 -3983 0 0 872290 872290 0 187571 148181 22509 16881 0 4730 4730 0 9269 7446 562 1261 14328 11319 1719 1290 0 0 28763 28763 0 0 0 1640 1640 9058 9058 14970 13473 1497 0 0 16573 14916 1657 7898 7740 158 0 0 0 0 3926 3533 393 3852 770 3082 OUTSIDE SERVICES 849 340 509 0 1175717 1048086 95594 32037 90001 169202 6203 1400 0 3000 0 0 0 0 0 28396 42842 12966 5890 11002 7076 0 0 0 0 2551 2550 141153 223070 7351 32020 7351 32020 X 133802 172086 18964 133802 191050 141153 223070 57188 60 X X false true X true false X 1193567 918375 1289762 1056486 1232194 5690384 0 0 1193567 918375 1289762 1056486 1232194 5690384 2604800 3085584 6456 5772 -3922 8306 0 25429 4094 4693 34216 5732906 0.53820 0.49390 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 12966 5890 7076 7076 1322965 90000 90000 1232965 -60 -60 1232905 1265717 90000 90000 1175717 1175717 true KWITHU KITCHEN 0 0 GRANTS TO RECIP IN THE REGION 185490 KWITHU WOMENS CENTER 0 0 GRANTS TO RECIP IN THE REGION 337562 MZUZU ACADEMY 0 0 GRANTS TO RECIP IN THE REGION 349238 872290 872290 872290 EFT 1 false false false false false false Part I, Line 2 - Grantmakers Explanation For Monitoring Use of Funds Outside US ALL PROJECTS ARE MONITORED CLOSELY BY BUDGET AND ACTUAL COSTS.
