About Us

Thanzi265 started with one boy's empty stomach.

Founder Nelson Kamoyo grew up in a rural Malawian village where hunger was simply part of the day. He went to school without breakfast, sat through lessons he couldn’t concentrate on, and watched classmates open lunch boxes he didn’t have. He never forgot it. In 2024, he turned that memory into Thanzi265, a community-based organization that teaches children to grow nutritious food and equips their mothers with the financial skills to keep their households fed, even after a harvest fails or a crisis hits. We’re young, but we’re not small in ambition: every program we run is built so a family can eventually run it without us

Vision

A Malawi where no child goes hungry — and where every generation passes down the knowledge to keep it that way.

Mission

We invest in food literacy and regenerative agriculture as practical tools against poverty and malnutrition, building toward communities that can sustain themselves.

Our Areas of Focus

Food Literacy For Children

Children learn what their bodies need, where food comes from, and how to grow it, turning a lesson into a lifelong habit instead of a one-time meal

Regenerative Agriculture & Community Engagement

We go beyond feeding kids today. Communities learn sustainable growing methods so they can keep producing food long after our team has moved to the next village.

Village Savings & Loans Associations (VSLAs)

Mothers get seed capital and a savings group, plus structured training in financial literacy, business skills, leadership, regenerative farming, and nutrition. Many are recording income and expenses and calculating their own savings for the first time in their lives.

How we Work

Thanzi265 works from two directions at once. Children learn to grow and cook nutritious food on a model farm and in their own kitchen gardens. At the same time, their mothers build financial skills through table-banking groups and small business training. When a child brings new food knowledge home and a mother brings home a steadier income, the whole household becomes more resilient and less dependent on outside help. It's not charity that ends when the funding does. It's a skill set families keep for life

Nourishing Minds & EmpowerHer

Through the Nourishing Minds project, which has been funded by the Kanthari Foundation Switzerland, We are making some significant progress in promoting environmental sustainability and food literacy as part of our inspiring journey to create a sustainable future for every child in Malawi.
