Instructor teaching English alphabet letters A–Z at Ntchentche CBCC

In August, One Love One World visited partners in Malawi to listen, learn, and strengthen programming on the ground. At Ntchentche CBCC, that visit met a center already moving from building and setup into daily learning.

New photos show English alphabet instruction on the chalkboard, volunteers painting letters and numbers on classroom walls, and children gathered for learning—often in matching uniforms as the preschool rhythm takes shape.

Furniture delivery is part of that same story. New grey tables and child-sized chairs—including bear-faced seats and a blue floor mat—help turn empty rooms into classrooms where children can sit, learn, and feel at home. Adults carrying and arranging furniture while children are already present make the progress visible to families and caregivers.

Outside, partners paint the Ntchentche CBCC name on the building and stand together in front of the center—signs that the community is claiming this space as a lasting place for early childhood.

Teaching, furniture, and community leadership are strengthening the program together. One Love continues to partner with Ntchentche to revitalize sustainable community based childcare in rural Malawi.
