VISION
To be a lead contributor in making Malawi free of Hunger, Poverty, and Malnutrition.

Thyolo is one of the districts in Malawi with very high rates of poverty, many early marriage cases, issues related to violation of human rights, poor land management and HIV/AIDS pandemic. The causes of the above problems can range from lack of enough arable land, the traditional cultural practices to poor agriculture methods educational background. Such being the case, many youths, more especially young women, are engaging in unprotected sex and this consequently lead to spread of HIV/AIDS and cases of unplanned pregnancies. It is from the above reasons why the Chipembere Community Development Organization was formed.

CCDO is a grassroots community organization established by concerned individuals around Thyolo communities in 2010 and got registered with Malawi government under the Trustees incorporation act of 1962 (chapter 5:03) in 2010. It is a local nonprofit making organization created with an aim of promoting good health, sustainable social and economic development to marginalized or under privileged; enhance well conserved environment; work in climatic change resilience and food security; and to alleviate poverty and mitigate the impact of HIV/AIDS and chronic illnesses through provision of educational, recreational and lifelong learning opportunities for orphans & vulnerable children and the youth.
