Our Work in Malawi

In Malawi, JRS educates more than 5,000 children in the pre-primary, primary, and secondary schools of Dzaleka refugee camp, the largest in the country. JRS works with Jesuit Worldwide Learning in Dzaleka to bring a variety of educational initiatives to displaced persons. JRS Malawi also provides mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) services, in addition to programs to assist with their livelihoods.

Education Education is a life-saving intervention that helps displaced children and families to see beyond their displacement.
