E3 partner communities in Malawi – context at a glance:
Partner communities in Lilongwe and Salima.
Limited opportunities to earn a living: E3 partners are improving livelihoods in isolated rural communities where families live in extreme poverty.
High rates of HIV infection: it was estimated by UNAIDS that the HIV prevalence rate was 6.7% in 2023, 980,000 Malawians were living with HIV and 12,000 new infections occurred. HIV education is key to reduce the spread of HIV and ensure people can live positively with the disease.
Improvements to people knowing their status and accessing medication: 95% of people living with HIV know their status and 91% are on antiretroviral treatment. With proper care, medication and nutritious food, those living with HIV can lead healthy, productive lives well into old age.
Importance of improving life for young people: Over 51% of Malawi’s population is 18 years and younger.
Challenges for girls in completing school: E3 partners are working to reduce the high rates of teenage pregnancy and early marriages of young girls in their communities. Boys also need support and encouragement to finish their education. There are 440,000 orphans due to AIDS (aged 0 to 17).
Access to healthcare: without E3 partner clinics, most people would be unable to access affordable healthcare.
Gender-based violence: 24% of 15-49 year old women report recent intimate partner violence. E3 supports partners to raise awareness and support abuse survivors.
