The seeds of the idea for the<br>formation of FOMO stemmed from the many harrowing stories relayed<br>back to Mary Woodworth from her friends and relatives still living in her<br>home village in Mulanje. During a visit early in 2000, Mary and Keith<br>were able to see and hear of the desperate plight of many of the local<br>Children.<br>Determined to make the idea of FOMO a reality, Mary contacted<br>relatives and friends who over the years had been helping many<br>orphaned children. From this small beginning FOMO became a reality<br>and aims to provide and enhance the health, education, food security,<br>meet the basic human needs and develop the potential of all the needy<br>and orphaned children of Mulanje.<br>The sad reality is that there are too many children in need of help and<br>too few local families that can afford to help. Though there are many<br>high profile agencies within Malawi they seem unable to address the<br>immediate, local, one to one help that FOMO is committed to provide.<br>From small beginnings FOMO Mulanje has grown and now looks after<br>over 2,500 children through a network of 14 centres covering over 85<br>villages in Mulanje district of Malawi.|

FOMO Mulanje is seen as a success by the children, local committees and officers, (DC, TA's, Police, heath workers, social services etc), FOMO Mulanje works by assisting and working with the communities using the traditional values and structures that have served the population in what can only be describes as better time. 

FOMO Mulanje's day to day activities are run by a small number of employees, project officer, accountant, playschool teacher, matron plus and volunteers, that help out with the general day to day functions, cooking, sport, gardening club, bees, chickens, choir etc. Each of the 14 centres has a locally elected volunteer committee who are responsible for the day to day running of their centre and they are also responsible for identifying and assessing children in need. 

The bridge between FOMO UK and FOMO Mulanje is through our founder Mary, who is in a special position in that she understands Malawi, speaks the language, has a clear view of the injustices and knows how to motivate the local population, and generally is an inspiration and example to us all. 

With an eye on the future FOMO Mulanje, run a secondary school, 14 playschools, a Clinic and a tailoring school/outlet. We, when funds are available, sponsor further education for the and children.
