BeeHive School nurturing future Malawian leaders

Summary

Through education, BeeHive Elementary School is nurturing future Malawian leaders and innovators who will one day tackle the most severe problems faced in Malawi.

What is the issue, problem, or challenge?

BeeHive is an excellent elementary school in Northern Malawi - they have everything a good school needs - skilled local teachers, nearly 300 dedicated pupils, an industrious/passionate director, and a solid curriculum. The problem is that, BeeHive's buildings have been deemed to "not be up to code" by the Ministry of Education, but BeeHive lacks the capital to build new, up-to-code buildings. BeeHive is in danger of being shut down if it can't find the funds for new buildings and needs our help.

How will this project solve this problem?

This project aims to provide BeeHive School with new school buildings that are up-to-code and will meet with the strictest standards set by the Ministry of Education. Every student deserves to go to school in a structure that is safe and reliable.

Potential Long Term Impact

BeeHive is cultivating future leaders that will be able to address Malawi's gravest problems. BeeHive is the only internationally certified school in northern Malawi and is providing their roughly 300 co-ed student body with a well-rounded education.

Project Message

Seeing a grassroots education project develop and grow in a region so often marked by sadness, is a real tonic. And I'm honored to help out my old friend Niall, his team and the kids at BeeHive!
