  • Lining up at the Feeding Center in Mtsiliza

The village of Mtsiliza is found in Lilongwe, the capital city of Malawi.  This community is home to over 1,000 households (10,000+ people), ranging from destitute to middle-class.  Orphaned and destitute children living with their families or caregivers who are unable to properly care for them make up the majority of the population.  Due to the high rate of HIV/AIDS and the toll it has taken on this community, many families are headed by widows, the elderly, and in some cases, children.  Christian, Muslim and traditional tribal religions all co-exist in Mtsiliza.
