With approximately 15% of Malawi’s 15 million population living with HIV/AIDS and 60% living below the poverty line its not surprising that Malawi continues to be one of the poorest countries in the world.
Heaven Sent works alongside local projects to promote HIV/AIDS awareness and teach about prevention methods. Heaven Sent also enables individuals with HIV/AIDS to receive the necessary education, treatment and counselling to support them in living with the disease.
Due to the increasing levels of poverty and the impact of the HIV/AIDS epidemic the numbers of orphans and street children in the country has dramatically risen. Malawi’s extended family system, the traditional coping mechanism can no longer absorb the immensity of the crisis.

Health & Social Care is a huge problem when you are living in one of the poorest countries in the world. Over populated and low on resources, Malawi has also suffered several years of food crisis.
