Every Book Deserves a Safe Journey Home — $10 Provides a Waterproof Backpack
The current, donated library space is temporary. It is only available through January 2027. With your support, we are working toward a permanent community education hub.

LIFT MALAWI PROJECTS
The Manchewe Community Lending Library is built on a simple idea: books should be shared, taken home, and used.
This is not a reading room — it is a lending library designed to reach the entire community, extending access beyond school hours and beyond the classroom.
Books are borrowed and taken into homes
Children, youth, and adults all have access
Reading is supported through simple programs and community use
Technology will be introduced as capacity grows
This approach allows one small library to reach hundreds of people - strengthening access to books, knowledge, and opportunity across the entire area.
The Student Technology Fund addresses a critical gap — access to technology for students in rural Malawi.
Provides essential devices and digital tools
Expands access to information and skill-building opportunities
Supports schoolwork, research, and independent learning
Helps prepare students for further education and future work
By focusing on access to technology, this fund helps open new pathways — connecting students to opportunities beyond their immediate environment.
LIFT’s work in Manchewe is shaped by the needs and realities of the community.
These projects are designed to work together — expanding access to books, resources, and opportunity while supporting long-term growth beyond the classroom.
LIFT will have achieved its mission when Manchewe, Malawi, no longer needs a LIFT because they have the knowledge and power to lift themselves!
