Who We Are

Annika Children’s Initiatives is focused on giving back to local communities in a sustainable way.

We have initiatives in Malawi and South Africa.

In 2021, we hired Malawians in the Mulanje district to work for us as tailors, a guard, a basketball coach, and a community coordinator who receives local mentorship from a board member. Our basketball trainer is training volunteers to become basketball coaches for our basketball program. Local leaders provide career mentorships and empowerment for students in rural South Africa.
