Kudimba Foundation

At Kudimba, we care for several children on the autism spectrum. We've shared Peter’s story before. A few years ago, his mum brought him to Kudimba, hoping we could support him. Unfortunately, at the time, our daycare centre wasn’t equipped to meet his needs. Peter has severe autism and found it extremely difficult to cope in a group environment, where the sensory input and presence of many other children were overwhelming for him. His mother faces immense challenges as a single parent living in extreme poverty, raising Peter and his siblings. Thanks to the incredible generosity of Kudimba’s friends, we’ve been able to help transform their lives. We organised a safe and comfortable home for the family, which is a huge improvement from the very difficult conditions they were living in before. They now live close to our new project site, so we can be available for the family when needed. While their living situation has improved dramatically, daily life remains challenging on many levels. A recent BBC documentary on autism in Malawi offers powerful insight into what it means to live on the autism spectrum in this context. We take our hats off to the journalist for bringing attention to such an important and often overlooked issue. We are deeply moved by the personal stories shared and are reminded that Kudimba is making a difference.💛

Bij Kudimba geloven we in een wereld waarin iedereen kansen krijgt. Daarom vragen we, naar jaarlijkse gewoonte, graag aandacht voor het belangrijke werk van 11.11.11., de Belgische Koepel van de Internationale Solidariteit.
11.11.11 brengt mensen en organisaties samen die wereldwijd werken aan rechtvaardigheid, solidariteit en gelijke kansen. Hun campagnes en acties maken een groot verschil voor vele gemeenschappen, ook voor de Kudimba gemeenschap.
Ons werk met kwetsbare kinderen en jongeren met een beperking in Malawi sluit nauw aan bij deze waarden. Samen bouwen we aan een inclusieve toekomst waarin niemand wordt uitgesloten.
🙏 We zijn dan ook bijzonder dankbaar voor de jaarlijkse steun van het 11-Fonds aan het Kudimba-project. Zeker in deze woelige tijden betekent die solidariteit enorm veel voor ons werk in Malawi.

At Kudimba, we believe in a world where everyone has the opportunity to thrive. As we do every year, we would like to highlight the important work of 11.11.11 , the Belgian Coalition for International Solidarity.
11.11.11 brings together people and organisations that work around the world for justice, solidarity and equal opportunities. Through their campaigns and actions, they make a meaningful difference for many communities, including the Kudimba community.
Our work with vulnerable children and young people with special needs in Malawi closely reflects these same values. Together we are building a more inclusive future where no one is left behind.
🙏 We are also very grateful for the annual support of the '11-Fonds' , which contributes to the Kudimba project. Especially in these challenging times, this solidarity means a great deal for our work in Malawi.
