In the charity's own words

The Foundation operates in an area of 60 villages in rural north Malawi. It's objective is to create a sustainable model of self-development that will enable this community of 20,000 people to be independent of international aid with a few years. The main method is to help people start and grow small businesses, with part of the profit allocated to a Social Action Fund under community control.
