Nanze has completed the final phase of Nanze Primary School. This phase included the construction of one block of three classrooms, four teacher houses, 4 sanitation facilities, volunteer housing, and an administration block. Phase Three will educate students in grade 6th-8th.

Nanze has completed Phase Two of the education initiative. Students will attend Standard 4 and 5 at Nanze Primary.

Nanze has completed Phase 1 and we have opened our doors for students in Standard 1-3.  The students first day of class was September 18th. Thank you to all who contributed to support the children in Malawi. 

Nanze distributed school supplies and toiletries to the children of Chikwasa in September. We also broke ground on  construction of the Nanze Primary School.   

In December, Nanze members travelled to Malawi to visit the school, community center and the livelihood project. It was a great opportunity to sit with the students, teachers and the village chiefs. While there, we delivered over 100 book bags filled with supplies and even more items to the village children. The bags were filled with school supplies, toiletries, staples and a fun item or two.

Among the supplies were learning materials. Laminated wall chart and individual learning pages for the children. This type of exposure to the English language at such a young age helps to provide these children with an amazing leg up. By including Fry's first 300 sight words, these children have a better change in school and life.

In 2015 The Ministry of Gender Children Disability and Social Welfare recognized NANZE as an organization that aims to promote gender equality, and improve the welfare of women, men, girls and boys.

In 2015, Nanze member Yunus Badat traveled to Malawi and secured land for the primary school. In addtition, land was also secured for teacher housing.

With funds raised from various sources and community participation, Swedish citizens with help of a Swedish UN Association, (Sydvästra Skånes FN-förening) constructed a building with the primary purpose to be utilized as an under-five health clinic in Chikwasa. Completed in 2014, the building has two rooms and has the capacity to house five patients and while providing in-out health services to the community. The Ministry of Health has provided for a nurse to visit the clinic twice a week to provide basic healthcare and vaccinations. Upon completion, the building was handed over to the Chief in Chikwasa village as the Swedish UN Association has finished its programming in Malawi. In agreement with the Chief and the Swedish UN Association, NANZE has taken charge over the Mama Zebbie Community Centre for its maintenance and forthcoming development. The days when the Centre is not in use as a clinic, the building doubles as a Community Centre including other non-governmental organizations utilizing the Centre to conduct weekly community health and wellness checkups. 

 Lakewood High School students in Ohio donated school materials including books and writing supplies, used sporting goods and shoes to students at Mthandiza Primary School 

The Chikwasa Nursery School was built in 2012 with private donations from Mrs. Birgit Härdig with the assistance of the Swedish UN Association (Sydvästra skånes FN-förening).
