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. This is who we are:
We reach out to women in Malawi who are experiencing financial hardship for themselves and their families.
Sustainable fashion, accessories, and household products are made and sold with women receiving fair payments and training in tailoring.
Profits are used to fund Higher and Technical Education for girls and women.
With partnerships and Women's Enterprise to bring educational and economic empowerment to girls and women in Malawi.
Through selling Chanasa products, creating new products, leading workshops, sharing skills, raising funds and by making visits.
To everyone at Chanasa,
Happy 5th Anniversary
With love from everyone at Chifundo UK.
