I sponsor a child from Malawi and Im glad I found this video to give me insight into her life.
Zack Alderson I think we all should take up donations so these kids can have some chairs and tables, drinking water, oh he just said they are going to get windows and other things for the school, but these kids need more for lunch, like fruits and vegetables, they could use some swings, toys, and shoes?"
God bless you
God bless u
am a Malawian boy , am sponsored by Spanish well wishers . now am at university. my dream is to uplift others too
As a Malawian i can agree. in 2024 still we have some places without preschools. Kids as old as 8 to 10yrs haven't started school yet. A lot of kids walk around without a pair of shoes. Poverty is at another level here but my God, even the ones so hungry will still smile at a stranger, tuere is so much compassion, kindness for one another. It is still a WARM HEART OF AFRICA.
I went to work in Lilongwe and it was the most fascinating trip of my life. There's overwhelming poverty but they're the nicest and warmest people on earth. I absolutely love that country.
My neighbor was a church missionary. He went there. They killed him and ate his liver.
The narrator is putting his own spin on the translation. I can't deal
👎👎👎👎👎👎😂😂😂
so annoying
This country looks really interesting. I know it's poor and has not much infrastructure, but all the kids seem very happy, I like the colourful clothing, looks like great weather, a beautiful lake, everyone dances all the time, and even in that very poor village people try and make the place look nice, cleaning etc.
The part where the baby is crying right in front of the camera really got me.😢
I'm very interested in Malawi because I am going there on the 25th June (2015) to visit a school in a town called Rumphi. It is interesting to see the background of the children before I go and see for myself.
Interesting. Please make a CZcams about it.
@jorge alberto ospna Hello, am a Malawian living abroad. You can ask me if you haven't gone to Malawi already. Thanks
WOW!!! Education is vital, even these little toddlers are admiring it...This is the best thing I have ever seen while here in South Africa and some other countries, people are still ignoring education and spoilt...
They seem happy with what they have that's all I care about.
what have they got ?
what a stupid thing to say ... there is no happiness here ... what you are seeing is what it looks like to survive without nothing ... this is what colonization looks like Dummy !
That’s not enough. They are malnourished. They no nothing of biology, history that will help them live a full and long life. Many will drop out of school when their parents do not have money for school fees. I could go on ….
malawi is BEAUTIFUL, i went on a mission trip there
Madeline Bliss How Long did you stay? And would you live there?
@@lasthour7132 madaline just wanted to tell us how caring she is 😐
@@forgive7449 thats the point. these people are going on missions to do what? The so called Europeans and chinese are doing missions and look what is happening. but the God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob see what is going on to black people in a whole and the rich arrogance stinks to the high heavens and hey will be brought down low and punished..
I decided to sponsor a child for my birthday and he just happens to be from Malawi. I am hopeful to make a small difference. The community definitely need more help from people who have the financial ability and of course who are willing.
+pearlharbour073 What organization did u use to sponsor a child? Is it legitimate and how will I know if the child gets ALL of the money...Finally, how do I know it's really a child I'm sponsoring and not a scammer posting a child's picture?
pearlharbor073 if that sponsoring is through a ngo they never see it.
THANK YOU ROGER FEDERER FOR INTRODUCING THE ROGER FEDERER FOUNDATION IN MALAWI
My view is that, this video is not very far from reality in malawi. There may be some minor mistranslations, but the facts remain the same. Infact this repesents the childhood experience of the majority in malawi, including mine. Actually, there some areas where there are no pre-school education. I never stepped in nursery school myself. I know we are happy people, but we can do better. And the government can do better too.

Majority of africans are really very Nice, cooperative and hard working.
We here in America throw away so much useful stuff that these children could use...we have 1.00 stores that could provide much of the things that they need for their school and the children.
Don't throw them away please ..they will appreciate
I loved Malawi. very hospitable. My husband is from likoma island and our children are Malawian American.
Wow this video has shown what is really on the ground. It gives one an insight into what it is really like to live in the villages in Malawi. I am not saying that living in huts means that one is poor,it is merely a lifestyle.What is upsetting is that these innocent little angels have barely what is classed as basic needs.Imagine what sort of adults they are going to be? I am looking at Abraham Maslow`s hierarchy of needs: If one does not meet basic needs such as food,water,sleep etc one may spend the whole time (life) trying to satisfy these needs..leading to a miserable life! One may never reach self actualisation(where one is content with one`s life) in the future. Children need toys, loving families in order to have healthy, imaginative and productive minds..among other things..and half the requirements for this does not even need western donors! The villagers in Ntchisi must be commended for the initiative of moulding their own bricks and sand in preparation for building of the new creche :-) However there is more which needs to be done such as: Where are all the creative guys and girls who build their own toys? You could make toys as arts and crafts projects and donate them to these little angels. Oh, and before you criticise my comment, don`t because i know what i am talking about. I have been there and i know what it`s like :-(
Karid Miscellaneous Hacker I have an idea: why don't you tell teach them to make toys or play games?
Like i said in the comment above there are creative people who make their own things including toys. Believe me toys are not expensive to make from local materials found at home. Imagination is all people need.If taught to kids they can make their own stuff to play with.
Wow, we have a long way to go in Malawi. If the situation is like that in villages that are close to the capital city, how worse is the situation in areas that are far from the capital city?
Good Question? Well, indigenous people in the capital of Malawi in Lilongwe are the poorest than those who used to be far from the city. WHY? Because of pride, they don't want to learn from other Indigenous citizens, if you go to Malawi next time check these far from the city villages, how they live in Malawi. Check out Nkhotakota north, Nkhatabay, Mzimba, and Rumphi districts they're living better not even nearest to poor but well managed living.
Interesting to know what's life like there.
Malawi has great artists!
thats so interesting
Thats why they have to prioritize and Food security, Health and education are at the top-thats what you have to do if you are not a rich country. On top of that Malawi is trying to find ways of becoming less and less dependent on foreign aid.Thats why community based development organizations are more helpful because they realise the importance of empowering the people to help themselves within the means of their own culture and social not just giving them the western way of solving the problem
GOD BLESS MALAWI FOR A BETTER FUTURE WITH YOUR RESOURCES AMEN
So many Malawians work outside the Country . They are known to be honest and hard working . When company like David Whitehead closed 3,000 people lost their jobs . It was stated that for everyone employed they supported on average 10 members of their extended families . Lonrho was one of the major employers with DWS , Sugar Mills , Tea Estates and Factories , Net Making Plant . The loss of DWS was painful it was a textile mill with the most up to date plant from taking raw cotton to finished prints of high quality . All sold off for very little . Many people who lived there have wonderful memories of life and friendships still hold firm today . Hurts to see that life not improved for so many .
Most of the translations are soooooooo wrong 😭
Angella Nyasulu I agree 😭😭
?????
Always wanted to grow up in my country but never had the chance too - it's a bit too late now cause I'll be going overseas to study... growing up in my home town > growing up in a foreign country
ohhhh lovley
Well u guys have a beautiful lake with beautiful fish in it I collect Malawi cichlids ... Well that's all I've got god be with you all
2:20 Watch this for a few seconds with closed captions on xd.
GOOD
Malawi will develop ....weathercyou like it or not
does anybody know the name of the song playing @ 5:53?
Phuzekhemisi Khemisi katelele ching'oma - unsure of title...
Phuzekhemisi Khemisi sounds like culture spears kuweletsana ( spelling maybe off) or Charma girl who sings with culture spears.
via community based organizations that really study what problems the people face, and that reduces the amount of money least developmed nations owe if they were to rely soley on borrowing money from else where and it also avoids child like dependency by relying soley on grants.Thats not to say foreign aid grants arent helpful they are but Malawi has realised that its a good idea to balance things out and empower the people to take responsibiliy over the problems the country faces.
This comment is by far the most unbiased, this is exactly the point I was trying to make in reply to the comment at the top.. THANK YOU jen13ray
How can we help
the translation is bad here ...... who translated this?
I desire to be the next president of Malawi. I want to improve Malawi. Imagine we have nothing...no planes, nice airport, roads, roads signs, hospitals , schools, universities, jobs, housings...what is malawi doing this 21st Century? 😁😁😁. Stop voting devils Malawians..
How come there's never a legit link to help people so it's kinda like nobody's here to help period
East Africa.....I am from Lilongwe
so instead of a bunch of failed country, you would just have one huge failed country? the same people are still in power and the culture still stays the same, only a miracle can turn these countries around to be successful and flourishing.
They should learn to make paint brushes out of horse hair, cows tail hair, etc etc, they won't wear out like grass. This is a wonderfull program from what I can see. Bless these children's hearts, yes dear GOD, bless them
Pamela Roy exactly! Why not have a garden and chickens at the school. Teach the kids how to make paper. Clay pots ECT. Get volunteers in the area to dig a well.
Eu adoro ver esses vídeos...mais gostaria q fosse dublado queria entender.....pq tanto sofrimento meu Deus tenha piedade.
Ameen
+sapulene I'm not saying I approve of what the US government does but I think the only reason the US government keeps ties with Malawi is to use them for the natural resources
Malawi has no natural resources. It has farms and fisherman and tungsten. Other countries in Southern Africa have natural resources that can earn them money-mostly on the backs of underpaid workers.
Wish had the millions some people have so I can help them
Not to mention the translation in the video is not accurate and it is very misleading.
Joyce Banda you have done a great efforf to contain curruption and black money. But Mama in malawi most of the common people deposit their hard earned money in co operative banks recent drive against co op banks will make those people in panic
Joyce banda done a great effort? If I was a president of Malawi, I would put her in jail plus others for stealing government's money.
Where are the rich people to help those children??? This is so sad 😭
Are there still some peoples in Malawi who can understand Afrikaans? Thanks
The days of going to South Africa to work in the mines are over.
Why should we understand a language that is not in interest to us? We have our own language
@@tonga05 these county's are not south Afrika ( Afrikaans) , but ( what I had heard) there were lot of Afrikaans speaking immigrants in those country's and people who worked in the mines. As an Afrikaans speaking you could help yourself so now and then.
@@abbypratt1461 now I see why they call it "monkeypox" 😏
@@mt_gox I did not write the message above.
To blame the Malawi government for all of the problems occuring in Malawi is to refuse to really see other causes of poverty. Poverty and its causes are so entertwined and complex.One of them is corruption in govts (yes,but not the only cause)-Malawi has made tremendous improvements in getting rid of corrupt leaders in the past 10 years,Education, health fuel the cycle of poverty and thats what the govt is trying to solve by mostly empowering the people to help themselves
I wonder why USA or any develooing countries don't wanna help them?
Western countries are sending foreign aid.
Malawi is very expensive yet they poor
Who else is watching this for humanities revision
⬇️
no comment
cont'd) with internet???Ok what are you doing to help? thats the thing with negative comments,u r great at saying them but u have provided no solutions? Why r u surprised that 8% of the population has no access to electricity-thats something that has been established long ago,everyone knows thats the case in poor countries...thats WHY people r doing something about it.Malawi in its own means has made a lot of improvements. Its clear that u r doing nothing but actively trying to demonize MLW
if you would like to raise money for these kids and parents do the 40HourFamine and register, donate and help give food and hope to these poor people
That is a very rude and disgusting thing to say. If you don't like the country just say you don't like it. Don't call it pathetic or all that and I dont know which Malawi you have been to because the last time I was there we had okay telecommunication and we had good cities. I am not going to sugar coat things and say everything is great because the country is indeed poor however the ENTIRE country is not like that. You have some parts that are great and some parts that are not.
The narrator is falsely translating what is spoken.
Alien In-California That's what white people do is mistranslate stuff that doesn't go along with there eurocentric mythology ! ! ! !
Sure, am a Ghanaian and will like to visit Malawi. They have rich culture
The problem with you comment is that you are rating Malawi in comparison with the west! No one who knows the degree of problems faced by least developed countries would compare things like internet and telecommunication a poor country has to a developed on (broadband internet). Malawi has a long way to go, the govt is dealing with the most important priorities.A person in the village may desire internet but they know thats not their priority.would you afford to go and provide all the villages
Amazing ingenuity to create a loving, Christian community.
And some of the documentaries do not give 2 sides of the coin. Because if you scan the whole of Malawi you will find that not all children in Malawi are starving,You'll see people supporting themselves and their families, children going to schoool, the government playing a part. You will also see that something is being done about it, the people are becoming more empowered not just waiting for the west to solve the problem because that creates a child like dependency which fuels the problem.
Lol so we won’t talk about how much natural resources they have . There’s no
Poverty they rich in natural resources 🤦🏾♀️ African rich is different from European rich .
Everybody are saying that malawi is poor....or they?
yes by western standards.
Our country may be corrupt and have a failing government. But this insult is uncalled for.
George Chaponda is the greatest!
🙄🙄 he loots national funds
The translator must go back to Malawi and learn the language....
He is not translating, he's just narrating
cont'd) but there are far ore people here who know the truth about developing nations and to say Malawi is hopeless is far from the truth.Rather than making such comments,go do something about it yourself and then tell me if u think one person can solve all thoses problems within a day.if you dont like the country and have no solutions then sit down or go to places where life is a breeze,everyone has internet,roads and tall buildings everywhere..no poverty,then come back& tell youtube about it
Please be fair when making such statements because u make it seem as if the government just sits there and does nothing.Have u considered what the govt has been doing to development the country?Have u considered why there isnt strong infrastructure eg roads?Is it really that the govt has to decided to just not build the roads?have u considered the priorities the govt has to make because it has a modest budget?Have u considered the success that Malawi has seen as the govt improved?the probs faced
if it is the most pathetic country in the world and that hopeless then why are u there? since its so hopeless wouldnt you be wasting your time there?if u are there to help out i commend u but ur demeaning comment is not reflecting or aligning with the reason u are there.MLW needs support&positive energy and people who will send a positive message to the world not negative coverage that just fuels the problem,completely eliminates the country's potential in tourism.every country has its problems
More than 100 different NGO'S are working here the standard of living of this country has not been improved.... All the fund goes back to donor countries in the form of Salary, tour or research cost.
Don't be foolish, there is mass poverty and hunger. DBlockn05 is absolutely right.
since 1994 which marked the end of autocratic rule. You have no idea how difficult it is to lead a least developed nation, development occurs over time. You can't just wave a wand and everything becomes diamonds and castles. Malawi fusing back into Mozambique and Zambia would not do anything but more harm because those countries are facing the same problems. Please be considering before you make unfair attacks.Least developed government have modest budgets-they cannot take up everything
I thought the Swiss weren't holding the candles for imperialism. I thought they were advocates of independence, pride and patriotism. I'm disappointed.
Montagnard indigenous we lost our ancestors land , forest to ethnic Vietnamese Alston Known kinh people that the reason we live in poverty.
I understand that you have been there to visit but that doesn't mean that you have valid information. To say that the government in Malawi is doing absolutely nothing is beyond ridiculous and it is invalid information you are giving out to the world.The U.S has ties with Malawi and if the U.S thought Malawi had a pathetic corrupt government they would have pulled out long ago with aid to Malawi. Have you compared Malawi to other countries in Africa.Malawi has undergone so much improvements
Am from Malawi, Malawi is getting worse and worse from where it was. It's disgusting what is going on in Malawi. I don't call home anymore. Government is corrupted and thieves. They only think of themselves not for the poor people. It's disgusting what's going on there. Yucky!!
mon petit pays tu me manque
I rather adopt a child or children and care them and educate them rather than give money to unorganization. They do not do much for them...the money goes to the bosses in the organisations. The whole world has enough for every single person that lives on earth but people are GREEDY.
Those who grew up like this no what they mean with there comments it was not funny flies feeding on my stinky wounds that's all I can say otherwise I prefer putting it in a poem I'm joining forces I will make my difference mama I'm coming
DONORS MAY HELP FINANCIALLY BUT USUALLY WHAT HAPPENS IS THAT THE MONEY GOES IN THE POCKETS OF THE SUPERVISORS WHO ARE SUPPOSED TO USE IT ACCORDINGLY. IT'S SO PATHETIC HOW THEY STEAL MOST OF THE DONATED RESOURCES. I KNOW THIS COS I HAVE SEEN IT WITH MY OWN EYES. I COME FROM MALAWI. THE DONORS NEED TO APPOINT SOMEONE HONEST TO ENSURE THE POOR KIDS BENEFITS FROM THE PROCEEDINGS
people from 9ks
Please do a documentary on the rich parts of Malawi, I'm tired of the West always portraying us as extremely poor and extremely underdeveloped. I went to a good school with a good educational system, grew up in a nice area and a nice house. Document that.
Honesty, all this "many children in Malawi" nonsense, I AM MALAWIAN, I grew up there, all this stuff they're talking about I never experienced it. I know that the villages mainly experience it but we're not all poor 🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️
8:30 Stop saying poverty is everywhere, your ancestors brought poverty to Africa. Quite simple, they took what was there... now they have nothing left.
yeah but poverty is everywhere so your point is?
Nice logic man, did you even go to school?
Thetrueguy509 TRUE!
Thetrueguy509 Hatlanta
How about we stop sticking to racism and pointing fingers to people as a whole and realize that because someones great great great ancestor did something hundreds of years ago doesn't mean their offsprings offspring did. It's immoral and wrong. The Aztecs executed 80,000 people a day in 1510, should we hold that against the Mexican people? The Zulus pillaged hundreds of tribes killing thousands of tribesman, should their great great great grandchildren be punished for it? It's ridiculous. Let's unite as a human race and not a divided race. A stick alone snaps, a stick in a bundle does not. Remember that we are the universe and we are one people, one consciousness, and one spirit. God Bless brother.
Thetrueguy509 Hatlanta you're the idiot that has the idealistic idea stuck up your ass. Blame all white people, stfu, get an education, you'll understand.
the commentator chats shit, si zi ku gwilizana ndi zimene akunena anthuwo aka ma panga translate, and while dblockn05 comes across as harsh, the nigga has a point, i don't believe emerging countries would solve the problem but proper governance, it needs a dedicated ruler like kamuzu banda, though the dude was a dictator he maintained malalwis economy, i've been to the shittiest areas of malawi, i know what dblockn05 is trying to say,a lot of work does need to be done the politicians have failed
well everyone can have a different opinion of what "great" looks like and different definitions of a failed country, even though i will agree and say that it is a failure. Blantyre is very trashy but is a nice place and probably the best place to live anywhere in malawi. it has grown a lot in the last 10 years. there are also many countries and places around the world without access to internet, pretty much any 3rd world country.
That is the poorest region than the rest of Malawi that you see near the capital. (The southern and central region)according to village's better living. If you could ask them, they never traveled other regions of the country because of pride and ignorance. but all the NGOs used to stuck there but no bearing any fruits, Why? Stubborn and pride. But they got well upcoming develop cities like BLANTYRE and LILONGWE, but forget standard of living in rural areas, while Northern and central North are best in living better lives in the rural and remote areas of the country. Most NGOs never been there, because no need to. Keep in mind that when someone record a video of poorest in Malawi 🇲🇼 I know is talking about SOUTHERN and CENTRAL regions. Even Disasters too, because of deforestation.never heard Disasters in NORTHERN AND CENTRAL NORTH myself. But political leaders neglect the Northern city. Next time if someone shows you the villages of Northern Malawi, you will not believe it, they're ambitious villagers, trust me.
RAM NARAYAN RAM
Chant this Mahamantra irrespective of your religion-nationality-caste and colour. This mantra is not originated from a particular religion(so-called). It is a concentrated form of the universal tune. Neither this RAM represents the Ram of the Ramayana, nor this NARAYAN represents the Narayanan of Satya Yuga. This RAM is the echo of the endless void and this NARAYAN is the echo of the visible world.
The human race has advanced a lot in terms of agriculture, science, technology, medicine, astronomy etc. But when it comes to humanity, then we see that the trend line has almost touched the bottom limit.
Our true self has been covered with our bad deeds and ill thoughts. Because we have gone far from the tune of our conscience and nature. We are drowned in the dark ocean of ignorance. We have to lit the fire of knowledge up. For that we have to generate heat. Sound energy can be transferred to heat energy.
By repetitive chanting of the Mantra heat is generated. That will wipe out that darkness of ignorance from within. We are nurturing our body with food but we are not nurturing our consciousness. To nurture our consciousness we have to feed it with Dhwani(sound). That is RAM NARAYAN RAM. At the time of chanting you have to put Omkar - RAM(O) NARAYAN(O) RAM.
What ever you do, where ever you are, what ever your belief may be, which ever deity you worship, that doesn't matter. Just go chanting this MAHANAM (great name). That will help your conscience to abloom and guide you perspicuously. When you will follow the directives of your conscience, then you will commit no sinful act. If each and everyone becomes conscientious then there will be no need of any spiritual leader or preceptor to preach what to do and what not. Then the tune of the whole human race will be at par with that of nature. Then the world will become the heaven itself.
🌼🌹🌷🔱RAM NARAYAN RAM🔱🌷🌹🌼
What’s wrong with this narrator ? Why is he misleading people ? Not all Malawians live this .
Tito ? Johanna ? Dorothy ? are you serious ? who the hell is the brainwash narrator, is the africa ? or Europe ? or america .. Bible ... what a rediculous video 🤣🤣🤣 this is a wonderful colonial video ... soon this will change 👁
Quand un blanc parle d’Afrique, le premier mot c’est pauvreté
