Where The Need Is Greatest

Malawi is a rich country in resources but poor in living conditions for the majority of the people (ranking 171 out of 187 on the UNDP Development Index). The educational system is very inadequate for the population of 18 million, 50% of whom are under the age of 18.

Fr. Henriot, S.J. worked tirelessly to raise the funds to build LJSS in Kasungu because the Jesuits recongized this area of Malawi has a very significant deficit in good educational opportunities available to young Boys and Girls.

Today the school meets the educational needs of the 600+ young girls and boys who will be making a difference for the future of Malawi and Africa!

    The benefit of a Jesuit Education

    The Jesuit emphasis is on education “forming women and men for and with others.”

    LJSS was founded on a core “ethos” of Christian values and humanistic qualities.  A key element in this “ethos” is what we Jesuits refer to as ” Ignatius Pedagogy.”  That means training our LJSS students not just to make a living but to make a difference in their communities and in the world!

    It might sound very idealistic – maybe even a bit unrealistic – but it is a goal the school strives towards every day.  Every student is invited to become a “person for others,”  someone who knows that her or his education is not simply for self-achievement or personal success.  Graduates of LJSS leave with both the desire and the talent to make a difference for the future of Malawi by putting what they have learned at the service of authentic development of all the people of our beautiful country.
