CHIFUNDO UK
Chifundo (Chichewe) and Chanasa (Yao) both mean Compassion which is the basis and motivation for what we do as a charity, both here in the UK and in Malawi. We reach out to women who need support and empowerment through education and income generation so that they can fulfill their potential and make a difference for their families, communities and country. It is women mutually helping each other.
