Our Mission: Encore for Humanity exists to break the cycle of hunger and limited education in Malawi and beyond. We work to create an encore for children — another chance, another opportunity, and a new stage to learn, grow, and thrive.
Our Vision: We envision a world where every child receives an encore of possibility: the chance to finish school, pursue their passions, and help transform their communities.
Inspired by the communities we serve, Encore for Humanity’s leadership is committed to working with integrity, creativity, and compassion to ensure that Encore’s critical mission continues to grow and endure.
