About Program
Construction of a Resource Centre:
Though the district is making some good gains in the recent years, there is obviously a lot of work that still needs to be done. Several sectors of the life in the district, women, youths, children and the local leaders and even government officials believe that the absence of a community resource center hinders progress in socioeconomic development.
In the past years we have invested in acquiring a land for constructing a resource centre. This building is to provide the children and youth with skills and education in various fields, as well as provide a space to organise workshops and other community events.
We need help both with fundraising and with the physical construction of the building – such as, helping mix concrete, painting, brick laying, plastering, digging, carpentry.
Our construction project is to provide and encourage maintenance culture in already existing facilities. In the past years we have invested in acquiring a land.
Consider your impact: Volunteering abroad can be a rewarding experience for both volunteers and local communities, and at Go Overseas, we believe all volunteers should have the resources to make informed decisions about the type of volunteer project they want to partake in. However, despite best intentions, some organizations offering placements in orphanages may unknowingly place children in danger. You can read about the potential dangers of orphanage volunteering here. Learn more about how HYCF is promoting ethical volunteering.

Program Impact
In Karonga, located in the north of Malawi in Africa, there are many schools without toilets. Lack of toilets causes infectious diseases such as cholera, dysentery, hepatitis A, and typhoid fever, hinders children's education, and protects their dignity as human beings. We aim to create an environment where as many children as possible can attend school with peace of mind.
