About WHAT LOVE MEANS Campaign by HELP

“It is a privilege to partner with HELP on the WHAT LOVE MEANS Campaign," says Camilla Belle. “My goal is to help and bring happiness to the lives of people suffering in this impoverished country by participating in this worthwhile campaign. I am also looking forward to visiting Malawi this summer and having the chance to provide hands-on support to the ongoing efforts of this wonderful organization and the people of Malawi.”

WHAT LOVE MEANS…… These three simple words are reflected by thousands of children living in rural Malawi, Africa (the seventh poorest country in the world) where HELP, in conjunction with the community, has impacted their lives. HELP’s mission is to positively impact lives of orphaned children and young adults living with famine, drought, extreme poverty, illiteracy, and diseases like HIV/AIDS, malaria, and tuber culosis, all of which can be treated with proper health care and education, if available. The mission is to give hope, education, love and protection to these children and young adults, beginning with building a school and medical clinic.

What love means to Marita, an eleven year old girl, orphaned due to the premature AIDS deaths of her parents. Now cared for by extended family, who barely survives on less than $0.50 a day, as sustenance farmers, Marita’s future was bleak until she was able to participate in the programs of H.E.L.P Malawi this past year:

To Marita (and thousands of children like her): 

Love means:  Attending the Nanthomba Full Primary School, an enclosed well equipped school, built by HELP Malawi rather than attending a primitive school held outside on theground.

Loves means: Having a desk, a chair, her own pencil, books, school paper, and educated teachers to provide her with the education she deserves and needs.

Love means:  Not living with the stigma and risk of dying from open untreated infected wounds, treated through HELP Malawi’s Wound Care Clinic.

Love means:  Having clean drinking water to drink on a daily basis, as provided by a borehole built by HELP Malawi, which has desalinized the water. 

Love means:  Having an insecticide treated mosquito net, subsidized through HELP Malawi, to cover her bed at night, so she is not bitten by mosquitoes and infected by the fatal, yet treatable, disease of malaria.    

Love means:  Learning how to plant and sustain nutritious crops, through a H.E.L.P Malawi led program, which will supplement her daily diet and increase her village’s future self-sustainability.

Love means:  Helping her family increase their meager income through her cousin’s participation in a local micro lending program, which H.E.L.P Malawi provides classroom space for.
