Jacaranda UK

Jacaranda UK Foundation is a UK-based charity focussed on giving a free education to Malawian children orphaned by AIDS.

We believe that each child deserves access to a good school, clothing, medical care, food and clean water, and through our projects and helping to support the Jacaranda School for Orphans we try to make that possible for as many children as we can.

Meet Olivia. She joined Jacaranda School for Orphans in 2013 after dropping out of school as her mother couldn't afford to pay her school fees.

After her entirely free secondary education at Jacaranda, Olivia is now being sponsored to study for a degree in Business Management. So many young girls drop out of school in and are forced to marry young to ease the financial burden on their family. Jacaranda UK is Breaking this Cycle, and young women like Olivia are going to shape Malawi's future.
