What We Do


The Tongole Foundation is a UK registered charity aiding families in Malawi. We work specifically with local communities surrounding the Nkhotakota Wildlife Reserve. Many people in the region, just like the rest of the country, live in extreme poverty – on less than a dollar a day.

We focus our work on the areas of Education & Conservation in an effort to improve the standards of living for as many people as possible.

Despite being a young charity we have witnessed some remarkable outcomes in the communities we support.  Our work demonstrates that the communities’ involvement is essential and what is considered small in the UK, in terms of financial support, goes a very long way in making a positive change and difference to the lives of children and local communities in Malawi. 

Education

  • We have been working in partnership with four primary schools: namely Wozi, Chankhokwe, Mwalawatongole and Chilimani Primary Schools.
  • Over 2,000 primary school students provided with learning materials, including crayons, colouring books, rulers, balls and sports uniforms.
  • Scholarships provided for five students, three boys and three girls. By supporting the most needy students we have opened their doors to a better future with far greater opportunity to gain employment and support themselves and their families.

Building Projects

  • We have begun construction of Chilimani Primary School. A new primary school which already benefits over 200 children between 5-15 years of age.
