Help Build the Manchewe Community Lending Library
The Manchewe Community Lending Library is creating access to books, technology, and opportunity in rural northern Malawi.
This is a community-led initiative designed to serve children, youth, and adults; designed to bring books and reading resources into homes and to expand community access beyond the classroom, but we can't do it without YOU!
The team is hard at work bringing the library to life!

A Community Library in Motion
The library is located in a donated space in the heart of the community. Local leadership, through an active Library Committee, is guiding the project and shaping how the library will serve the community.
The library will offer:
Books for all ages, including local language materials
A lending system so books can be taken home
Internet access and digital learning tools
A welcoming space for study and community use

Building Toward a Permanent Home ...
The current library space is generously available through January 2027. While this allows the library to open and begin serving the community, it is a temporary solution.
LIFT is working toward a permanent home — a community education hub that will expand access to books, technology, early childhood education, and adult learning opportunities.
This next step will ensure long-term stability and allow the library to grow into a lasting resource for the entire community.
Your support helps create a welcoming, inclusive space where books are shared, opportunities grow, and the community comes together.
Donate today to help open Manchewe’s first community lending library.
Thank you for believing in community-driven development
and the power of access to books and opportunity in rural Malawi.
