Malawi’s Magic Future: A report from Stefan Wissenbach
In October 2013, the Wissenbach family travelled to Jumbo, Malawi to help build the first Magic Future school, a team effort between The Magic Future Foundation, buildOn, and the community of Jumbo itself.
In Jumbo there is a cycle of poverty that continues largely because of the inaccessibility of education and resources. Yet the community’s energy, passion and enthusiasm are incredible. For 9 weeks they came together to construct the new Kasambankhole school which will serve 210 girls, 228 boys, and 8 teachers.
Education is a powerful poverty-fighting tool that these children and their families can take, own, and run with for generations to come. It’s the definition of sustainability.

Working with
The Magic Future Foundation is delighted to be working closely with buildOn, itself a registered charity with an unparalleled track record of success, having built over 2,200 schools over the last 28 years. Of these, only two are not functioning, but only due to them being wiped out by natural disasters. The sustainability and success of the schools is due to a unique proven approach and partnership between buildOn, local government and the community. Equal numbers of girls and boys are educated, and many schools operate adult education programs.
Schools will be built in Burkina Faso, Guatemala, Haiti, Mali, Malawi, Nepal, Nicaragua and Senegal. Our schools break the cycle of poverty, illiteracy and low expectations, transforming the lives of the attendees and the communities they live in.
