#NGOSpotlight Ladder to Learning is amplifying the learning experience in under-resourced primary schools in Malawi by providing 21st-century educational materials and literacy support to over 10,000 students. Their model entails partnering with public primary schools in setting up Literacy Hubs: spaces where students get access to library services, remedial reading classes, reading clubs, tech gadgets and other relevant learning resources. Through programs like the Online Mentorship Program, Ladder to Learning is levelling the playfield for students who would otherwise have no access or exposure to technology until tertiary education (which most of them never make it to). The foundation believes in a Malawian society where every young person is educated and contributes towards community development.

#NGOSpotlight Gardens for Health International is a non-profit organization registered both in the US and Rwanda that exists to bridge the disconnect between food, nutrition and health to enable households and communities grow and consume nutritious healthy food. For over a decade, Gardens for Health International (GHI) has implemented nutrition-sensitive agriculture programs to combat childhood malnutrition in Rwanda that have benefited thousands of families across Rwanda. GHI seeks to fundamentally change the conventional treatment of malnutrition by empowering families and communities to grow and consume nutritious foods from their own backyards. GHI’s core program works in collaboration with government-run health centres to identify and support families at risk and those struggling with malnutrition.
