The main objective of the charity is to alleviate the poverty of orphaned children within the rural communities of Malawi, who have been affected by HIV / AIDS and other devastating diseases, enabling them to build a sustainable future for themselves. The foundation shall work with the people of Malawi, enabling them to become self sufficient and giving them hope for the future of their communities.

The projects will be based on improving health and medical treatment for child-headed households, to enhance education standards, habitat, agriculture, livelihood and ad-hoc solutions which will have an immediate and long term impact on the deprived lives of these children.

The primary and immediate mission for the JCT Foundation is to support these impoverished orphaned children. In the future we would very much like to broaden our reach by setting up a mobile clinic and we would like to educate the people of Malawi in HIV / AIDS pr... more

I'll let Emlyn John, charity's founder, have a say:

"When travelling across the Tanzanian border, Southern Africa in 2000, I met Pastor Michael Thomas who invited me to his village in Malawi. That visit opened my eyes to the harsh reality of HIV/AIDS, malnutrition, malaria, cholera, typhoid and the devastating effects they were having on the children of this country. We decided to set up the foundation together on the final day of my visit, with the aim of providing food, education, healthcare and agricultural stability to the children and local communities. It is my sincere hope that the work carried out through this foundation will build a better future for the next generation in Malawi.?
