Thanzi265 is a non-governmental organization (NGO) based in Malawi that is committed to ensuring food security and promoting sustainable farming practices. Our vision is a future where no child goes hungry, and every child has the responsibility to preserve and pass on the wisdom of food and sustainable farming.
Our work is deeply rooted in the concept of food literacy, which we see as a tool to alleviate malnutrition and poverty. We believe that every bite of food we chew has a story and that food is our sustenance, a unifying force that ties us to our heritage and is deeply intertwined with the natural world.
One of our key initiatives is the Nourishing Minds Project, which takes children aged 5-12 years on a 4-month journey through organic farming, composting, and harvesting crops such as vegetables, corn, and fruits. Four times a week, they visit the farm to supervise their plants and learn about food literacy and sustainable farming through experiential songs and interactive games.
Through these efforts, we aim to safeguard and transmit the knowledge of food, ensuring the survival of our planet for future generations. They are based in Area 25 Dzenza, Lilongwe, Malawi.
