Malawi is one of the countries most affected by Aids, with one million HIV positive and 86,000 deaths a year due to this pandemic. More than 1.3 million children are orphans and survive thanks to the Community aid or to the help from their older brothers, who leave school in search of resources to keep their family.
  
• Beneficiaries
  The beneficiaries are 100 boys and girls of ages between 6 and 16 chosen among those in the most vulnerable situation. The majority are orphans due to Aids.
  
• Activities and results
  The centre is in an initial stage and has carried out sport activities, school reinforcement lessons and leisure activities for the younger. The XICS Malawi has also provided a medical monitoring of young children, at the Health Centre Sant Mary Rehabilitation. Finally, literacy lessons were given to children who left school early.
