Othakarhaka Foundation

What is Othakarhaka Foundation?

Established in 2012 by Ida Puliwa, Othakarhaka, which means ‘passing on kindness,’ began as a humble charity group. Its inception was inspired by the generosity of Dr. Marquita Hill, a retired professor from Virginia, who provided Ida with a scholarship to pursue her college education in Malawi.

Today, Othakarhaka Foundation is dedicated to offering opportunities to marginalized, needy, and vulnerable individuals in the rural communities of Malawi. We strive to extend the same kindness we receive everyday, uplifting lives and creating brighter futures.
