Annual Report 2023

A year of achievements and challenges

A report that goes beyond the numbers.

2023 has been a year of great success for our association and for the children of Malaika. Six students have achieved important educational milestones: one young woman graduated, and five students completed their high school education. Among them, two are continuing their studies at university, two are attending vocational courses, and one has already started working.

Thanks to the Outreach project, two more children were reunited with their families, while during the summer, we welcomed three new young guests. In terms of resources, we completed a new building dedicated to candle production, increasing our production capacity and sales, allowing us to cover the salaries of three staff members with the generated revenue. Our food self-production efforts continue to grow thanks to the expansion of cultivated land.

These achievements motivate us to work diligently toward our long-term goals. We are focusing our efforts on strengthening the staff and analyzing new projects, with the ambition of covering 20-25% of our needs through self-funded initiatives and increasing family reunifications, currently at 29%.

A heartfelt thanks to all of Malaika’s supporters and donors.
