Our Moments That Matter® (MTM) program partnership in Malawi is transforming early childhood development (ECD). The first three years of life are critical, setting the foundation for lifelong learning, health and well-being.
MTM increases children’s access to early learning and development opportunities and equips parents and caregivers with the tools to support their children’s cognitive, psychosocial and physical growth. A network of local faith and community leaders along with ECD volunteers provide support for caregivers and referrals for health services.
In the wake of natural disasters like Cyclone Freddy in 2023, our partnership with ACM provided 5,000 households with four months of food, non-food items, seeds and livestock support. Severe flooding in 2024 claimed lives and caused serious damage to crops and housing. Our partnership provided temporary housing, food provisions, and psychosocial and emotional support to families.
