Mission Statement

Malaika's mission is to empower Congolese girls and their communities through education and health programs.

About This Cause

FFounded in 2007, Malaika is a nonprofit that impacts thousands of lives in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) through enhanced access to education and health programs. Malaika’s work incorporates the following four key programs: School - the Malaika School provides a free, accredited primary and secondary education to 370 girls, ranging from STEM and coding to art, music, theater, and sport. Nutrition - organic food is grown locally on Malaika’s premises, providing students and staff with two healthy meals per day. Community Center - in partnership with FIFA, the Kalebuka Football for Hope Center offers free literacy and vocational education, health classes, and sports programming to over 5,000 youth and adults in the wider community. Water - through the building and refurbishment of 20 wells, Malaika provides clean, safe drinking water to more than 30,000 people each year. Before Malaika, the village of Kalebuka in southeastern DRC had no access to electricity, clean water, or educational facilities. Crucially, Malaika’s community-driven approach acts as a model that can be replicated on a global scale in communities around the world.
