Our Mission Statement

  • Promote educational facilities for all children in the community
  • Enhance the ability of the community to become self-sufficient
  • Ensure care of orphans and vulnerable people affected by HIV/AIDS
  • Provide fresh water and sanitation

We are supporting around 3,000 orphans in their villages. We support 13 centres in an area about 15km by 20km north west of the Capital, Lilongwe.

We are dedicated to helping children, whose childhoods have been suddenly taken away from them, due to illness, poverty and the HIV/AIDS pandemic. The amount of these affected children is incredible. A generation is slowly being eliminated, leaving the elderly to take care of the young

The Landirani Trust is a registered charity formed to give life and hope, to a small part of Malawi, the 'Warm heart of Africa'.
