The program is run by a very small staff with over 200 local volunteers; our funds are raised by a small but resourceful volunteer committee in the UK.FOMO provides direct aid and reaches out to many thousands of orphaned and vulnerable children, but we do need a regular source of funding and your personal donations are both valued and appreciated.
FOMO
Caring established June 2000 is registered charity in both the UK and
Malawi
This is a list of some of the FOMO’s achievements in 2010, and we would like to say a big thank you to everyone that has contributed to helping the children and trust that you will help us once again in 2011.
