Need for JANEEMO

An analysis by the Malawi government identified over 75% of households in Chikwawa District as extremely poor.  Nutrition levels are not high and access to health and education services is limited.

Communities are heavily dependant on shrinking forests for energy. Sourcing firewood is becoming increasingly difficult, reducing time available for education and enterprise development.

In common with many African countries, HIV and AIDS have led to a reduced labour force. 

As a result, households are often female headed. This means that women and girls face multiple challenges of caring, supplying food and energy for growing households.

JANEEMO helps tackle all these challenges by providing enterprise, fuel, nutitional, health and agricultural improvements.
