Adoption is a legal act to ensure, to a child in a serious state of neglect or abuse, the right to live peacefully within a family other than biological.

The distance support is an act of solidarity consisting in the moral assurance to send, by liable representatives, a stable and continuous economic support, whose use donor receives a feedback, aimed at children, adults, families, communities clearly identified in conditions of necessity and in all parts of the world, to offer the opportunity to improve their living conditions in the social and cultural context in which they live.

Our choice fell on the distance support of remote communities as we have been requested by the Fathers missionaries, Don Cesare Castelli and br. Mario Pacifici of Balaka mission in Malawi.

The schools in Malawi are not recognized by the state and therefore they are entirely borne down on  the missionaries. However, there are many children who’d like to go to kindergarten because certainly once a day and learn new things.

With only € 15.50 per month, we can help the missionaries to pursue these kindergartens without further burden on their budgets: more children can attend school and you can improve the quality of food, or expand the structures as needed.

The Sukulu ya mkaka St. Monika was built by the Second Line Missionary of Ostia in 1994

In 2001, we accepted the challenge of Don Cesare who propose to help in maintaining the school that houses 350 children.

In the kindergarten, in addition to the 350 children, there are teachers, cooks and attendants too. Three people work outside, dealing with the maintenance of the garden where the children go to play.

At 8.30 a.m. the van arrives, equipped with about 20 seats, which leads in three trips around 200 children. At 9:30 a.m. there is breakfast with a biscuit and a glass of tea, at midday the only meal of the day containing polenta and cabbage, or rice and beans. Once a week they have the stew.

With the help of all, we have achieved a dream: to build a nursery to allow children in distant villages use a structure that supports them education and a meal.

In fact in April 16th 2007 we opened in the Mbera village, at about 20 kilometers from Balaka, the new school Chimwmwe. It houses about 500 children and employs 6 teachers and 7 attendants.
