Promoting access to education for children

Dear Supporters 

We hope this report finds you in good health. We are deeply grateful for your generous support towards our project ‘’Promoting access to education for children’’ .

 Your Donation is already playing an important role in helping us move forward with our work as we promote access to education for children with epilepsy in Chileka, Blantyre, Malawi.

We successfully received your donation through GlobalGiving, while we are waiting for the funds to be disbursed to our organization, we are using this time for preparation purposes to ensure that once some of the funds are released, implementation of the project will be efficient, impactful and accountable.

Even without access to the funds yet, we are making meaningful progress behind the scenes to ensure that no time will be lost once funds are received;

• We recently finalized monitoring our project budgets
• We are reparing for upcoming field visits, we were collecting data of persons with epilepsy from our impact area, data collection is still being done including identifying beneficiaries

Our Next Steps

• Direct engagement with beneficiaries (Children with epilepsy, Parents of Children with epilepsy and school authorities eg Mother support groups, school management committees
• Implementation of planned initiatives

Thank you for making our work possible and for being part of a lasting impact as we promote access to education for children with epilepsy in Malawi.

We look forward to share more updates about our work, in the meantime feel free to visit our social media pages to stay updated on our work

Dear Supporter

We hope this report finds you in good health. First of all, we would like to thank you for your continued support towards our cause. As individuals with epilepsy, we go through so many challenges on a day-to-day basis, some of them being stigma and discrimination which in many cases contribute to the denial of our human rights. It is very important to keep in mind that when one right is denied the enjoyment of other rights is compromised.

Denying persons with epilepsy the right to education will eventually contribute to our inability to enjoy other rights such as the right to autonomy, descent work which will eventually lead to poor social and economic outcomes. We are passionate about promoting access to education for children with epilepsy because we would like to see a future where persons with epilepsy are able to enjoy their human rights and participate effectively in society.

In our last report we mentioned that we are creating a database for children with epilepsy attending school from the Chileka area in Blantyre District, I would like to update you that so far, we have received data for one traditional authority but we haven’t been able to visit the project impact area again as we are still mobilizing funds.

Case Study

In Late 2025 a parent with a child who has epilepsy engaged the Warriors requesting for support because his daughter had been forced to withdraw from school-by-school authorities. This is one example of how children with epilepsy are denied access to education and it just goes to show how important this project is in order to promote the right to education for children with epilepsy.
