We are working with partners to make the most of Big Give match funding, helping donations go further for children and families. We are also developing a self-sustaining irrigation pilot to improve harvests, strengthen food security, support nutrition and build long-term community resilience.

In rural Blantyre, Malawi, around 1,000 young children attend 17 Community Based Childcare Centres supported by Joshua. These centres are run by caregivers and parent-led committees, but resources are poor. Many children face poverty, food insecurity and limited access to early learning, nutrition and care. Without this support, many children start primary school underprepared, affecting long-term learning outcomes.
Joshua will support each of these 17 CBCCs with play-based learning resources, nutrition where possible, caregiver support, health and wellbeing activities, digital learning input where available, monitoring, safeguarding and practical local programme delivery. This will improve the quality of early learning, increase attendance, and help caregivers deliver more structured, consistent support for young children.
