ANNUAL REPORT
A YEAR OF ACHIEVEMENTS AND CHALLENGES
An Annual Report that goes beyond numbers.
2023 was a year of great success for our association and the children of Malaika. Six students reached significant educational milestones: one young woman graduated from university, and five completed their high school education. Two are continuing their studies at university, two are attending professional courses, and one has already started working.
Thanks to your support of the Outreach program, two more children were reunited with their families, while during the summer we welcomed three new young children. On the resource front, we completed a new building dedicated to candle production, increasing both production capacity and sales, allowing us to cover three staff salaries with the revenue. Our food self-production continues to grow thanks to the expansion of cultivated land.
These achievements inspire us to work diligently to reach our long-term goals. We are focusing our efforts on strengthening our staff and analyzing new projects. Our ambition is to cover 20-25% of our needs with self-financed projects and increase family reunifications, currently at 29%.
A heartfelt thank you to all the supporters and donors of Malaika.
