A couple of our favorites of Anna. Some of you know her personally, but for those who dont this is the short version of what prompted her to found Maloto, its powerful - In 2003, I returned home to Mzuzu, Malawi to attend my sister’s funeral. Like so many, she died of HIV/AIDS. The number of children that attended the funeral shocked me because when I was growing up in Malawi, children were not allowed to attend funerals. When I asked why there were so many children, I was told they were there in hopes of receiving food. I realized immediately the devastating effects of HIV/AIDS on the community. The disease had wiped out a generation of caregivers, teachers, and community leaders; and left thousands of children orphaned. I was heartbroken and decided something had to be done.
