The centre is being built in Likuni town, on the outskirt of Lilongwe city. Children from the immediate middle class families will access paying services for sustainability of the centre. Children from low income families will access the centre through 30% fully sponsored spaces.

The centre has a twin block building with toilets in the middle and covered Khonde (veranda). There are multiple learning spaces and a dedicated research space.

The video evidence from the the pilot study below, showed that after the children were taught by Shalom, an aspiring twelve years old teacher, children were able to read and write instantly when taught using the Mphanje resources. Imagine what they can achieve in a year at the centre.

Mphanje Center

Mphanje Early Learning Center is a follow-up project from the successful pilot study of 2020

The Pilot study showed that children were able to read and write instantly when taught using the Mphanje resources. The learning center will therefore build on this success to advance research for national impact.

The project will cost £18500 which includes the purchase of land, building materials, construction, landscaping and furniture. These funds will primarily come from sponsors.

Part of the funding will come from book sales of the "Smile Back" book which can be purchased by clicking on the cover image.
