Funding 13 community-run kindergartens in the Machinga District, Malawi.
We Are Powerful
Poverty isolates, weakens and threatens children. Community-run, village-based kindergartens ("kindies") give children life-saving food, safety and care and life-changing dignity, friendship and pre-primary education.
You are invited to join the work of Project Kindy Inc., as we fundraise in Brisbane Australia for the Canossian Sisters' special community-run village-based kindergarten project in Malawi. Together, we work to save and change the lives of over 1300 children in extreme poverty. Join the work for the JOY of it!
Abrazaki is a very vulnerable child, without a father or mother, and suffering malnutrition and extreme poverty. He first met the Sisters because they used to regularly come to the convent and ask for food for their survival. Abrazaki was severely undernourished when he enrolled in a Project Kindy Inc. funded kindergarten in 2024 and has greatly benefited from the daily lunch and care of teachers and friends.
Community kindergarten is life-saving and life-changing for Abrazaki and many children like him. Join the partnership!

Why Kindergarten?
"This project has grown in a sustainable, respectful way with the local leaders. Our kindergartens have proven to be empowering for the local people and life-changing for the children." Donna Power, Founder
Children in Malawi suffer from malnutrition and hunger as their subsistence farming families face food insecurity regularly. The kindergarten students receive a filling polenta-style lunch Monday to Friday, 10 months of the year. We need your help to provide this crucial food source for the children.
Kindy develops their social and behaviour skills, basic numeracy and literacy and a growing sense of confidence and belonging to community. This sets them up for success in primary school and subsequently secondary school and beyond, creating leaders and active, skilled citizens. Give the gift that keeps on giving!!
Poverty isolates children and without kindergarten they are often left without adult supervision and food for long periods of time. The communities see the value in bringing the children together during the day under the care of teachers and with the friendship of each other. Project Kindy also provides special t-shirts and shoes to increase the children's experience of dignity.
Classrooms provide weather-proof shelter, dust-free classrooms and security. The wells provide essential access to fresh and local water. We plan to empower the communities to be self-sufficient in the long term. We need your help to provide the essential funding for these projects.
How much does it cost?
A $4/month kindy fee provides the child with life-saving, nutritious daily 'porridge', a t-shirt and pair of shoes, educational resources and access to an 'ambulance bike' if needed. There are bigger amounts of funds needed to cover the staff wages and training and construction projects of classrooms and wells. These are covered by business and larger private donations.
