Self Denial Appeal Week 2: Malawi Program to End Child Marriage

In Week 2 of Self Denial, we meet Stella, a single mother in Malawi working hard to provide for her children, often struggling to find food and keep them in school. Like many girls in her community, her daughter Mercy was married young – before she even finished Year 8. Mercy has since returned home, determined to go back to school and build a different future.
Thanks to The Salvation Army’s Child Marriage Prevention Program, change is happening. Families are learning the value of education, girls are being supported to stay in school, and communities are standing together to end child marriage. Today, Mercy is back in class, thriving, and dreaming of a brighter future. This Self Denial Appeal story shows how education, protection, and hope can transform a generation. Your generosity makes this work possible.
Over the coming weeks, we’ll visit Malawi, Sri Lanka, Rwanda and Fiji to see the incredible impact of past giving. Together, we can make a difference. To find out more and donate, click here.
