Impact at a Glance:
- 379 students reached weekly
- 4 partner schools
1️⃣ First Contact: Partnering With Four Schools Across Malawi
Our journey in Malawi began by reaching out to four schools — Lakeview Primary School, Mzimba Community Secondary, Chikondi Village School, and Hope Springs School — each serving vibrant communities eager to learn and lead.
Initial meetings with school leaders and teachers revealed a shared passion: a desire to bring sustainability and social awareness into everyday learning.
From these conversations, Ubuntu Roots and local educators co-developed a plan to deliver weekly sessions that would connect global challenges — like climate change and inequality — with Malawi’s own experiences and solutions.
The partnerships were not built overnight. They were formed through dialogue, shared goals, and mutual trust, laying the foundation for a model of education rooted in collaboration and cultural relevance.
2️⃣ Turning Classrooms Into Change Labs
Each week, ideas ripple beyond the classroom walls.
Students debate how deforestation impacts local farmers, how gender equality strengthens economies, and how budgeting small amounts can lead to financial independence.
To turn learning into leadership.
Through this collaboration, Ubuntu Roots and our partner schools in Malawi are building a scalable model for youth-driven sustainability education, one that cultivates critical thinking, environmental awareness, and community responsibility.
3️⃣ A Step Toward a Shared Future
Ubuntu Roots is honored to stand alongside Malawian educators and youth who see education not as tradition, but as transformation.
Together, we are proving that quality learning doesn’t require privilege — only passion, purpose, and partnership.
This collaboration reaffirms our belief that education is the seed of change. And when nurtured, it grows into something far greater: a generation ready to shape a just and sustainable Africa.
