Friends of Mulanje Orphans

Partner profile

Friends of Mulanje Orphans (FOMO) is a community based orphan care programme supporting over 5000 children through a network of 14 centres in Mulanje district of Malawi. FOMO covers all aspects of the children’s welfare including health through our outreach clinic, formal and informal education, food security and production. The programme also covers pre-school, out of school activities and further learning through our play schools, computer, driving and tailoring schools. The programme also covers the provision of school materials, personal items (Soap, clothes, blankets, mosquito nets) and much more. The programme is run by a very small staff and local volunteers; our funds are raised by a small unpaid, but resourceful volunteer committee in the UK. FOMO provides direct aid and reaches out to many thousands of orphaned and vulnerable children, but we do need a regular source of funding and your personal donations are both valued and appreciated.
