If you don't find yours here, let us know by e-mailing us and we'll add it to the list.

01

Can I get a tax receipt?

 

Yes! Any donation over $25 will be issued a tax receipt. Click here for more info on how to donate.

02

How much of my money actually goes into the projects in Malawi?

 

Since 2015 Love a Village has put 95% of every dollar into our projects in Malawi. Our Canadian overhead is very low. 

03

 What does "self-sustainable" mean?

 

Enabling Malawians to provide for themselves and plan for their future without relying on donations is really what is needed. Love a Village provides new skills & information to arm families in their own battle against poverty. We are praying for a new generation of Malawians who will lead their country out of poverty.

04

Is anyone being paid a salary?

 

Our goal is to have as close to every penny possible going into Africa. Should a donor be interested in designating funds directly for Canadian salary purposes, this would be welcome. 

05

What are creative ways I can help?

 

Why yes there are! Here's some of our favourites: 

  • Donate aeroplan points and we'll use them to get to Malawi to work hands on with our friends in Malawi

  • Instead of birthday or anniversary gifts, encourage friends and family to give to a Love a Village project in your honour

  • Host an info night and we'll come to share about Malawi and the work of Love a Village 

  • Tell us about your creative idea - we'd love to hear from you!

 Why such a bright website?

 

"Colourful fun! That's one way I would describe Malawi. Bright sights, pungent smells, heavenly singing, joyous laughter and huge smiles. A blast of colour from the moment I walk off the plane onto the tarmac, to the moment I reboard.

 

I want this website to reflect the colours of Malawi and the people in it. I want this website to reflect what I feel and experience while I am there and that which lingers long after I am back in Canada, tiding me over until the next visit." - Julie Seath, Founder
