What is Join My Village? Join My Village is a joint effort between General Mills and CARE. It's an online community that is charged with fighting poverty in Malawi through the empowerment of womena and girls.
Why Malawi? Malawi, an African country, is one of the poorest and densely-populated countries. With an extremely low life expectancy (just 44 years old!) and high infant mortality (89 deaths per 1,000 births), the people of Malawi are in dire need of assistance.
