About 70 per cent of Malawi’s population currently lives below the $2.15 (Around R40) international poverty line with about 46 per cent of its national income being held by the top 20 per cent of the population.

It is currently rated by the World Bank as one of the top 10 poorest countries in the world.

The price for every day commodities such as cement and even maize is out of the reach of the poorest of the poor.

Salaam Foundation has been working with pregnant women and the elderly in remote areas of the country. We have provided financial aid as well as emergency food parcels to help alleviate their plight. For this you may donate zakaah, lillah or sadaqah.

Throughout the year, Salaam Foundation also digs wells in some of the most remote areas. These simple bucket and rope wells become a source of life as people have clean water to drink, irrigate their crops and feed their animals.

These wells currently cost R14 000 and can be done any other time in the year. This is a lillah and saqadah only project.
